For the first time, scientists have identified cells in mice that are capable of regenerating new hair follicles when transplanted into the skin. The finding is likely to spur research into new hair loss treatments for humans.
The mystery of migrating monarch butterflies has captured the attention. of people throughout the world. East of the continental divide in North. America, monarchs generally migrate to central Mexico from as far away as. Ontario, Canada. Monarchs west of the divide fly to the coast of California. to spend the winter. They cluster together on tree limbs during the winter. months in California by the thousands, and in Central Mexico by the mil-. lions.
Every year, millions of dragonflies fly thousands of kilometres across the sea from southern India to Africa. So says a biologist in the Maldives, who claims to have discovered the longest migration of any insect. If confirmed, the mass exodus would be the first known insect migration across open ocean water. It would also dwarf the famous trip taken each year by Monarch butterflies, which fly just half the distance across the Americas.
