Wide-gauge posture in the limb skeleton of Titanosauriformes is an exaptation to gigantism, as it is not correlated with body size in deeply branching titanosaurs.

The study presents valuable theoretical insights by attempting to classify pattern-forming gene subnetworks and exploring their potential mechanisms. However, the results are incomplete, as they rely ...

A time-course RNA-seq analysis of muscle remodeling reveals transcriptional dynamics independent of autophagy and highlights the significance of BNIP3 in mitochondrial degradation in vivo.

Forces generated by the actin cytoskeleton are highly dependent on the structural properties of molecular motors called myosin.
