The ancient Egyptians mummified an abundance of cats during the Late Period (664-332 BC). The overlapping morphology and sizes of developing wildcats and domestic cats confounds the identity of mummified cat species.
What explains the genetic relationship between Egyptian cat mummies and modern domestic cats?The study reveals that two of the three analyzed cat mummies contained mitotype sequences similar to modern domestic cats, specifically mitotypes C and G, indicating a genealogical link.How did morphological analysis contribute to identifying species in cat mummies?Morphometric analyses indicated a range of sizes and growth metrics among mummified cats, complicating definitive species identification due to overlapping characteristics.When did ancient Egyptians begin the practice of cat mummification?The first indication of cat mummification dates back to approximately 1350 B.C., associated with burial practices of beloved pets.
Cannabis has been used medicinally for millennia, but has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat any medical condition. Cannabinoids are the components in cannabis; some are commercially available to treat…
Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is present in consumer products and the coating of some oral medications. Acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC) has been proposed as an alternative to DBP because DBP causes endocrine disruption in animal models.

Pseudogout and the associated calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD)- crystal-related arthropathies are common conditions that present particular management problems in clinical practice as they often affect older patients with multiple…
Cells infected with mammalian reoviruses often contain large perinuclear inclusion bodies, or “factories,” where viral replication and assembly are thought to occur. Here, we report a viral strain difference in the morphology of these…
