Skeletal elements have a diverse range of shapes and sizes specialized to their various
roles including protecting internal organs, locomotion, feeding, hearing, and vocalization …

Background After domestication, the evolution of phenotypically-varied sheep breeds has
generated rich biodiversity. This wide phenotypic variation arises as a result of hidden …

INTRODUCTION The ruminants are one of the most successful mammalian lineages,
exhibiting extensive morphological and ecological diversity and containing several key …

Regenerative capacity declines throughout evolution and with age. In this study, we asked
whether metabolic programs underlying regenerative capability might be conserved across …

The annual regrowth of deer antlers provides a valuable model for studying organ
regeneration in mammals. We describe a single-cell atlas of antler regrowth. The earliest …

Deer antlers are a bony organ solely able to acquired distinct unique attributes during
evolution and all these attributes are against thus far known natural rules. One of them is as …

Muntjac deer have experienced drastic karyotype changes during their speciation, making it
an ideal model for studying mechanisms and functional consequences of mammalian …

The iconic phenotype of seadragons includes leaf-like appendages, a toothless tubular
mouth, and male pregnancy involving incubation of fertilized eggs on an open “brood patch.” …

Antlers are bony appendages of deer that undergo periodic regeneration from the top of
permanent outgrowths (the pedicles) of the frontal bones. Of the “less familiar” bone types …

Osteoarthritis (OA) has remained a prevalent public health problem worldwide over the past
decades. OA is a global challenge because its specific pathogenesis is unclear, and no …
