From fish cloaca to fingers: Scientists trace the origin of our digits

How did digits evolve? While it is clear that they derive from genetic programs already present in fish, their precise origin remains a matter of debate. An international team led by the University of Geneva (UNIGE) with EPFL, the Collège de France, and the universities of Harvard and Chicago has come up with an unexpected answer: Digits may have evolved from the reuse of an ancient region of the genome, initially active in the formation of the fish cloaca rather than their fins.

Scientists find cell surface sugar that slows pancreatic cancer in mice—and it's detectable in patient blood samples

Pancreatic cancer has the highest mortality rate of all major cancers, and its incidence is climbing. Because it is typically asymptomatic at early stages, pancreatic cancer is especially difficult to catch and treat in time. This allows the cancer to spread or metastasize throughout the body—the ultimate cause of death for nearly all patients.
