Paleontology, archeology, and art history provide crucial information for the understanding
of human evolution throughout ages and its habits. Past animal and plant species are also …

Molecular studies have contributed greatly to our understanding of evolutionary processes
that act upon virtually every aspect of living organisms. However, these studies are limited …

Sequence data from biomolecules such as DNA and proteins, which provide critical
information for evolutionary studies, have been assumed to be forever outside the reach of …

The discovery of soft, transparent microstructures in dinosaur bone consistent in morphology
with osteocytes was controversial. We hypothesize that, if original, these microstructures will …

Standard methods for body fluid identification typically rely on detection of the functional
proteins specific to or enriched in them, such as hemoglobin in blood, alkaline phosphatase …

This study applies peptide mass fingerprinting (also known as 'ZooMS') to bone tools from
the North African Palaeolithic, as the first stage in a research programme aimed at …

Proteomic techniques in bones forensic samples are increasingly, being applied. The main
aim of forensic sciences is the estimation of postmortem interval. Most current techniques …

A decade ago, reports that organic-rich soft tissue survived from dinosaur fossils were
apparently supported by proteomics-derived sequence information of exceptionally well …

Tooth enamel is the hardest, densest and most mineralized tissue in vertebrates. This is due
to the high crystallinity of enamel. During enamel formation, proteins responsible for …

Medullary bone (MB), an estrogen-dependent reproductive tissue present in extant gravid
birds, is texturally, histologically and compositionally distinct from other bone types …
