In one of the strangest paths to reproduction, this tiny Japanese sea worm actually grows a ‘mini-me’ at its rear end, which it then deploys so it can swim off on its own in search of similar ...

Studies were beginning to enter the scientific literature - and rumors were welling up at conferences - suggesting it might affect more than just reproduction in worms.

In a discovery many neurobiologists once thought too farfetched to accept, a protein known to help sperm move toward eggs during conception of the worm C. elegans appears to play a central role in Lou ...
