DOI: 10.1002/jmor.20871
Abstract: Variation of vertebral centra numbers is common in vertebrates. Likewise, the number of associated elements such as ribs and neural and haemal arches can vary and affect all regions of the vertebral column. In mammals,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11307-018-1226-7
Abstract: PurposeTo map functional bone marrow (BM) by 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-d-glucose ([18F]FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) in the vertebral column of lung cancer patients prior to, during, and after treatment. Moreover, to identify radiation- and erlotinib-induced changes in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jbmt.2020.11.016
Abstract: BACKGROUND In combat sports, long-term training load can lead to sport-specific functional and body posture adaptations. The most often observed changes are in the shape of the anterior-posterior spinal curvatures. The abnormal inclination of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-019-12568-w
Abstract: Cranial lymphatic vessels (LVs) are involved in the transport of fluids, macromolecules and central nervous system (CNS) immune responses. Little information about spinal LVs is available, because these delicate structures are embedded within vertebral tissues… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-019-13026-3
Abstract: A fundamental concept in evolutionary biology is that life tends to become more complex through geologic time, but empirical examples of this phenomenon are controversial. One debate is whether increasing complexity is the result of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-27335-z
Abstract: The vertebral column of individual mammalian species often exhibits remarkable robustness in the number and identity of vertebral elements that form (known as axial formulae). The genetic mechanism(s) underlying this constraint however remain ill-defined. Here,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/02724634.2020.1766477
Abstract: ABSTRACT Skeletal bone enlargement (hyperossification) was thought to only occur in endochondral and dermal bones (e.g., endoskeletons of marine tetrapods and dermal bones of certain jawless vertebrates, placoderms, and teleost fishes). However, in some arthrodiran… read more here.
