Most of the creatures today consist of hundreds of millions of cells, but when life on Earth first emerged, they were merely a few microns long, invisible to naked eyes. According to a recent study published in the international journal Geology, scientists have found the secret behind it.

Chinese researchers have reconstructed the whole-brain projection atlas of 6,357 single neurons in the prefrontal cortex of a mouse brain and established the world's largest database for mouse single-neuron projectome. This study has not only laid the structural foundation for in-depth studies into the neural mechanisms of advanced cognitive functions, but also facilitated further studies of whole-brain mesoscopic connectome.

Chinese researchers and their counterparts from British and Dutch universities have worked together to print a cardiac tissue that can survive in vitro and sustain pulses for more than six months.

Paleontologists have discovered the amazingly well-preserved fossil skeleton of an extinct owl that lived more than six million years ago in northwestern China. The skeleton's fossilized eye bones revealed that the owl was active in the daytime, not the night, according to the study published in the PNAS.
