Chickens treated to inhibit the sonic hedgehog (Shh) pathway during development grow feathers that resemble ancient ...

Scientists have successfully genetically modified chickens to make their feathers resemble those of dinosaurs. This study is ...

Scientists uncovered a key genetic pathway in the origin of feathers, but they found that evolution is stubborn in turning back the clock.

Feathers may have started as simple filaments in ancient dinosaurs, but a team of Swiss researchers is digging deep into the ...

From two weeks onwards, feather development in the embryos partially returned to normal. The chicks with the altered pathway ...

Scientists recreate ancient proto-feathers in chicken embryos, revealing evolutionary resilience in feather development.

Scientists now believe that feathers didn’t just appear suddenly in birds. Instead, they evolved step by step from much ...
