Patterns of spinal motion, kinematic spaces and the land‐to‐sea transition in carnivorans
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Using 3D reconstructions, we quantify intervertebral joint mobility to investigate how cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebral regions evolved distinct kinematic roles in pinnipeds. The findings reveal lineage‐specific adaptations for swimming and highlight the functional significance of vertebral joint flexibility in ecological transitions.

Fascia, Eh. What Is It? What Is It Good for?
Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Opinions on the meaning of the term fascia appear to have been diverging for the past quarter century. In 1998, the definition of fascia in the international standard anatomical nomenclature was narrowed by removing the term fascia superficialis.

Evaluation of Useful Biomechanical Parameters On Scoliosis Using Finite Element Method
International Clinical Neuroscience Journal, 2020 Background: Scoliosis is a deformity of the vertebral column, and shape-changing and deformation of the spine are some critical factors that can cause this abnormality. This condition causes some problems like deflection of the spine in the coronal plane

Move beyond free radical theory of aging
iMetaOmics, EarlyView.Free radicals play a dual, dose‐dependent role in aging. Low levels activate the key sensor adenosine 5'‐monophosphate‐activated protein kinase (AMPK), promoting cell survival mechanisms like autophagy and enhancing mitochondrial health. High levels, however, push AMPK to initiate cell death pathways, such as apoptosis. This positions AMPK as a central
