The real question is, what was the importance of those dinosaurs having feathers on their bodies? Bird-like raptors and horned dinosaurs also had a coat of filaments covering their bodies at one ...

Over the last two decades, dozens of fossilized dinosaur remains bearing evidence of feathers or quill-like protofeathers have surfaced, most notably among ornithischians and coelurosaurian theropods.

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

Recent research suggests that Velociraptor mongoliensis was a feathered dinosaur. A forelimb fossil discovered in Mongolia showed quill knobs like those found in many modern birds. These telltale ...

However, some dinosaur species were actually covered in feathers, just like birds today. We know this because some fossils from creatures such as Archaeopteryx and Sinosauropteryx — both ...

Scientists have successfully genetically modified chickens to make their feathers resemble those of dinosaurs. This study is part of a broader effort to understand how and why feathers evolved.

originate from simple appendages known as proto-feathers, which were present in certain dinosaurs.By studying embryonic development of the chicken, researchers from the University of Geneva (UNIGE ...

Researchers inhibited a gene during embryonic development in chickens to see if it would make their feathers look like those of dinosaurs. Here, we see feather buds on the 12th day of incubation.

Discoverer of more dinosaur species than any other living scientist, Xu Xing says some dinosaurs have birdlike traits, including feathers ... the past 150 years: the real relationship between ...

scientists have managed to make chicken feathers more similar to the tubular proto-feathers that probably first appeared in the ancestors of dinosaurs in the early Triassic period 250 million years ...

Like crocodiles and lizards. They might have made an effort to stick a few feathers on this dinosaur, but even if they did, that's not even a real animal. It's a hybrid of two different species ...
