Earth’s days are creeping longer as the Moon drifts away, reshaping the planet’s rhythm that once measured a 23.5‑hour day in the dinosaur era.

Prolonged stretching reorganizes tissue scaffolds and uncages cell nuclei

Research identifies a mechanical process where prolonged stretching forces the reorganization of keratin networks, leading to the uncaging of cell nuclei.
