Blubber Thickening Driven by UCP1 Inactivation: Insights from a Cetacean‐Like Transgenic Mouse Model
UCP1 inactivation of cetaceans in mice drives BAT whitening and iWAT hyperplasia, promoting fat accumulation for aquatic adaptation. Abstract Cetaceans possess thick blubber, a specialized adipose tissue essential for thermal insulation, a streamlined body form, energy storage, and buoyancy. However, the mechanisms that underpin this adaptation are not

MOOSE SENESCENCE RELATED TO TOOTH WEAR
Tooth wear in moose (Alces alces) generally follows an age-related sequence. The enamel-dentine interface forms an intricate pattern representing the effective cutting edge of teeth. We measured the linear cutting edges of 6 mandibles from 9 wear classes

Artificial Intelligence in Intraoral Scanning: A Narrative Review
ABSTRACT Intraoral scanning (IOS) enables the acquisition of three‐dimensional surface models of dental and oral structures, supporting diagnosis, treatment planning and digital workflows. However, many processing steps remain operator‐dependent and time‐consuming. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with intraoral scanning (IOS) represents

Investigating relationships among strontium, barium, and seasonality in wild baboons
Abstract Geochemical profiles of Australopithecus africanus and baboon teeth show fluctuating trace elements, possibly reflecting seasonal diets. Here we use laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometric measurements of calcium‐normalized strontium and barium ratios (Sr/Ca and Ba/Ca) and ion microprobe analyses of oxygen isotopes (δ18O ...

Trace Element Patterns in Juvenile Wild Chimpanzee Dentitions
ABSTRACT Trace elements are used to infer mammalian early‐life diets, environmental toxins, dispersal patterns, stress histories, and weaning ages. Here, we employ laser ablation‐inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐MS) to reveal elemental patterns in our closest living relatives, chimpanzees.
