Key proteins involved in the skeleton's adaptation to locomotion and in bone remodeling processes identified

by Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB)

An international collaboration study reveals how evolution and locomotion patterns, such as bipedalism, shaped bone structures through proteins present in the bone matrix. The findings of the study, l...

New findings on genomic regulation mechanisms throughout evolution

by Universitat de Barcelona

The conservation of genome regulatory elements over long periods of evolution is not limited to vertebrates, as previously thought, but also in echinoderms (invertebrates).
