This study examines bone degradation in underwater and dry cave environments using histology and FTIRM, finding that wet bones retain more collagen while fossils show no detectable signal.

This study shows TRAP regulates sex-specific bone maintenance and mechanical loading responses in old mice, with TRAP-deficiency impairing bone formation in both sexes.

The paper shows that loss of EED in mouse oocytes initially restricts fetal growth but later leads to placental hyperplasia and offspring overgrowth.

The paper identifies a transient period of PRC2 activity in mouse and human oocytes that represses developmental genes, with conservation in human germline but loss during early embryonic development.

This study shows that repeated mild traumatic brain injuries (rmTBI) cause time- and location-dependent changes in cranial bone structure in rats, specifically increasing bone thickness and reducing marrow cavity volume in the interparietal bone.

This study compares IL11 and IL11RA1 knockout mice, finding IL11 deficiency protects against lung fibro-inflammation but causes infertility, while IL11RA1 deficiency leads to craniosynostosis.
