  7. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦶😄 Neuroscientists surveyed 448 adults from Chinese, Dutch, and Greek backgrounds about their ticklishness, finding similar responses across #cultures.

    The #neck, #armpits, #abdomen, and #feet ranked among the most common sensitive spots, yielding a body map of ticklishness. Patterns partially matched #Darwin’s idea that less-touched areas may be more ticklish, within a mix of physiological and #social influences.

  8. Primitive Asgard Cells:

    #Asgard #archaea are now among the most coveted organisms in science, and for good reason. To many evolutionary biologists, their discovery and subsequent studies justify revising the textbook pictures of the tree of life to situate us — and every other creature built from #eukaryotic cells — as mere offshoots of the Asgard group

    Studies of Asgard genomes, meanwhile, have brought badly needed data to the question of how eukaryotes evolved, an epochal event in Earth’s history that inspires contentious debates.

    Most of the studies to date have had to rely on indirect genetic probes of the Asgard group, which don’t offer the same opportunities as prodding living microbes in a lab, the gold standard in microbiology since the days of Louis Pasteur.

    Now a high-stakes, slow-motion race is on as labs around the world attempt to #grow their own #Asgard #cultures. Samples aren’t shared; growth strategies are tightly guarded secrets.

    “We were honestly shocked” when the Schleper team’s results came out, wrote Hiroyuki Imachi, the microbiologist at the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology who, after a grueling 12-year effort, isolated the #first and currently #only other Asgard archaea sample.

    They aren’t the only ones. Thijs Ettema, an evolutionary microbiologist at Wageningen University in the Netherlands, hinted that his lab had made progress toward enriching Asgard cultures too, and he guessed that at least 10 other labs had similar projects underway. “They wouldn’t be telling me,” he said.
