Cartilage canals in sharks and rays show that blood vessels can exist in mature cartilage without triggering endochondral bone formation

Benjamin Flaum, Ronald Seidel, Maxi Yeatman-Biggs…·Mason N. Dean

This study shows that sharks and rays have cartilage canals in their adult skeletons, which are vascular but do not trigger endochondral bone formation, suggesting an ancient role in nutrient transport.

Beyond the surface: plasmalogens are dispensable for retinal integrity and fertility in the mouse

Ilaria Dorigatti, Viktorija Jurić, Michael J.F. Blumer…·Katrin Watschinger

This study compares Gnpat and Peds1 knockout mice to determine the role of plasmalogens in retinal integrity and fertility, finding that plasmanyl lipids can compensate for plasmalogen loss.
