Fossil discovery sheds light on the early evolution of animal nervous systems
An incomplete tubular specimen of the Eopliaprites sphinx excavated from the Quang Tuanh Formation of the Early Cambrian. The ventral nerve cord is shown. Credit: Science Advances (2025). DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.adr0896 An international team of scientists has solved a fascinating piece of the evolutionary puzzle. That’s how the ventral nerve cord, a key component of the central nervous system, evolved in…

Researchers highlight the role ‘workhorse proteins’ play in keeping the nervous system running smoothly
Hsc70 retards SNAP-25 aggregation. Aggregation kinetics of SNAP-25 (50 μM) at 37 °C. The optical density of SNAP-25 was recorded at 360 nm in the absence (black) and presence of Hsc70 (5 μM, red) and Hsc70+CSPαJ (5 μM each, blue). Hsc70 (gray) and CSPαJ (dark gray) alone do not show aggregation. Credit: Journal of Biological Chemistry (2024). DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2024.108001 A…
