How novel structures emerge during evolution has long fascinated biologists. A dramatic example is how the diminutive bones of the mammalian middle ear arose from ancestral fish jawbones. In contrast, the evolutionary origin of the outer ear, another mammalian innovation, remains a mystery, in part because it is supported by non-mineralized elastic cartilage rarely recovered in fossils.

Rigor and reproducibility are vital to scientific advancement. It is unclear whether a protocol optimized for tissue dissociation in one institution performs well universally. Here, we share our brand-new lab's experience with inter-institutional variability that led to the discovery that a protocol optimized for murine lung dissociation at Boston University (BU) fails to reproduce similar CD4 T cell, CD8 T cell, and B cell outcomes at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor (U-M).

Homocystinuria is a disorder of methionine metabolism leading to abnormal accumulation of homocysteine and its metabolites in blood and urine. This condition presents with a wide range of cutaneous and systemic features. This case report focuses on the particular cutaneous finding of silvery hair in this patient and its examination under a microscope that reveals an unusual and not yet reported finding of melanin clumps.

The relationship between left atrial enlargement (LAE) and primary cryptogenic stroke (PCS) remains a mystery. LAE has been proposed to be an independent risk factor of PCS, recurrent ischemic strokes, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, and thromboembolism. Our study evaluates the prevalence of LAE among patients with PCS in the absence of atrial fibrillation, unlike previous studies that included atrial fibrillation, in order to isolate LAE as a risk factor.
