  • How species form: What the tangled history of polar bear and brown bear relations tells us
    6/6/22

    It’s complicated. Rather than simple splitting events, the species histories of polar and brown bears, like those of humans, hide convoluted stories of divergence and interbreeding, study finds.

  • How might chimeric, droplet-forming proteins contribute to cancer?
    6/8/22

    A review article highlights the latest science in this field, focusing on protein droplets termed, “ectopic condensates."

  • An ‘olfactory identity’: UB researcher studies the history of deodorant
