EVANSTON, Illinois, July 26 -- Northwestern University issued the following news release:
One of just two vertebrates without a jaw, sea lampreys that are wreaking havoc in Midwestern fisheries are simultaneously helping scientists understand the origins of two important stem cells that drove the evolution of vertebrates.
Northwestern University biologists have pinpointed when the gene network that regulates these stem cells may have evolved and gained insights into w . . .
