source →More than 450 million years ago, long before dinosaurs appeared and before animals or plants had spread widely across dry land, crinoids were already thriving in some of Earth's earliest coral reefs. These ancient relatives of starfish looked somewhat like flowers growing on stalks beneath the sea. Crinoid fossils give paleontologists important clues about how early animals evolved and how complex life developed. But fossils usually preserve only durable structures such as shells or skeletal plates. Delicate tissues tend to disappear quickly after death, leaving major gaps in scientists' understanding of how these animals actually lived. A remarkably rare fossil studied by University of Oklahoma paleontologists is now helping fill in part of that missing picture. "After an animal dies, soft tissues like skin, eyes, or internal organs are the first things to decay," said Dr. Lena Cole, OU paleontologist and assistant curator of invertebrate paleontology at the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History. "Most fossils are only made up of hard parts like bones, teeth, or shells. Soft tissues are only preserved when the environment acts almost like a natural refrigerator or vacuum-sealer -- conditions that are incredibly rare." The fossil belongs to Dendrocrinus simcoensis and preserves its tube feet, delicate structures that almost never survive fossilization. Cole and her colleagues describe the specimen in a new study. Only two known crinoid fossils have ever been found with preserved soft tissue. This specimen is also the oldest example discovered so far. "Preservation
source →Scientists have found that wool could provide an effective and sustainable new option for repairing damaged bone. The research focused on keratin, a natural structural protein that can be extracted from wool. When tested in a living animal, the material supported bone regeneration and produced new tissue that more closely resembled healthy, natural bone than tissue formed using the current gold standard material. Researchers at King's College London tested the wool-based keratin in animal models and found that it could help direct new bone growth across damaged areas. "We are really excited to show for the first time how a wool-based material has been successfully tested in a living animal to repair bones," said Dr. Sherif Elsharkawy at King's Faculty of Dentistry, Oral & Craniofacial Sciences. Beyond its potential medical benefits, wool could offer an important sustainability advantage. It is a naturally derived material and is often discarded as waste by the farming industry, giving it potential as both a renewable and scalable resource. For decades, collagen has served as the gold standard scaffold in many regenerative medical and dental applications. These scaffolds act as protective barriers during healing, keeping soft tissue from interfering with the damaged area while giving new bone space to grow. Collagen, however, has several drawbacks. The material is relatively weak and may degrade too quickly, which can limit its usefulness when repairing bones that need to bear weight or withstand force. Extracting collagen can also be complicated and costly. "From a
