Trichoplax, the simplest known animal, contains an estrogen-related receptor: Implications for the evolution of vertebrate and invertebrate estrogen receptors [PDF]
, 2008 Although, as their names imply, vertebrate and invertebrate estrogen receptors [ERs] and estrogen-related receptors [ERRs] are related transcription factors, their evolutionary relationships to each other are not fully understood.

Multi-vertebral CT-based FE models implementing linear isotropic population-based material properties for the intervertebral discs cannot accurately predict strains [PDF]
arXivVertebral fractures prediction in clinics lacks of accuracy. The most used scores have limitations in distinguishing between subjects at risk or not. Finite element (FE) models generated from computed tomography (CT) of these patients may improve the predictive capability.

Ex vivo experiment on vertebral body with defect representing bone metastasis [PDF]
arXivOsteolytic metastases located in the vertebrae reduce strength and enhance the risk of vertebral fractures. This risk can be predicted by means of validated finite element models, but their reproducibility needs to be assessed. For that purpose, experimental data are requested.

Environmental DNAEnvironmental DNA (eDNA) degradation influences the effectiveness of eDNA‐based biodiversity monitoring, but the factors that determine the rate of decay of eDNA in terrestrial environments are poorly understood. We assessed the persistence of vertebrate

Bone Cancer Rates in Dinosaurs Compared with Modern Vertebrates [PDF]
TKAS 110, 155-158 (2007), 2007 Data on the prevalence of bone cancer in dinosaurs is available from past radiological examination of preserved bones. We statistically test this data for consistency with rates extrapolated from information on bone cancer in modern vertebrates, and find that there is no evidence of a different rate.

Establishing neuronal identity in vertebrate neurogenic placodes [PDF]
, 2000 The trigeminal and epibranchial placodes of vertebrate embryos form different types of sensory neurons. The trigeminal placodes form cutaneous sensory neurons that innervate the face and jaws, while the epibranchial placodes (geniculate, petrosal and ...

3D Vertebrae Measurements: Assessing Vertebral Dimensions in Human Spine Mesh Models Using Local Anatomical Vertebral Axes [PDF]
arXivVertebral morphological measurements are important across various disciplines, including spinal biomechanics and clinical applications, pre- and post-operatively. These measurements also play a crucial role in anthropological longitudinal studies, where spinal metrics are repeatedly documented over extended periods.

Molecular Aspect of Annelid Neuroendocrine system [PDF]
Invertebrate Neuropeptides and Hormones: Basic Knowledge and
Recent Advances, Transworld Research Network (Ed.) (2007) 19, 2007 Hormonal processes along with enzymatic processing similar to that found in vertebrates occur in annelids. Amino acid sequence determination of annelids precursor gene products reveals the presence of the respective peptides that exhibit high sequence identity to their mammalian counterparts. Furthermore, these neuropeptides exert similar physiological

A new method for identifying vertebrates using only their mitochondrial DNA [PDF]
arXiv, 2009 A new method for determining whether or not a mitrochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence belongs to a vertebrate is described and tested. This method only needs the mtDNA sequence of the organism in question, and unlike alignment based methods, it does not require it to be compared with anything else. The method is tested on all 1877 mtDNA sequences that were

VIRTUAL TEST APPLIED ON A 3D MODEL OF VERTEBRAL COLUMN
Journal of Industrial Design and Engineering Graphics, 2019 In this paper we have detailed the CAD methods that led to the obtaining of vertebrae and intervertebral discs. Initially, all the vertebrae from a corpse were scanned three-dimensionally.
