“The collective diffraction of light produces an array of colors. When the fish contracts and relaxes its muscles to swim, the sarcomeres slightly change in length, causing a shifting rainbow effect.”

These transparent fish turn rainbow with white light. Now, we know why
Repeated structures in the ghost catfish’s muscles separate white light that passes through their bodies into different wavelengths.

Ok, that's wild! Space grown human brain organoids! "The team co-cultured mature neurons and astrocytes on the ISS, and within 72 hours, the cells self-assembled into 3D brain organoids—a feat not possible on Earth"

Space-Grown Brain Organoids Help Advance New Neurological Treatment
Did you know some viruses don’t cause illness and can instead be used to treat disease?

Regulatory landscape of enhancer-mediated transcriptional activation
Enhancers are noncoding regulatory elements that instruct spatial and temporal specificity
of gene transcription in response to a variety of intrinsic and extrinsic signals
during development. Althoug...
