The Evidence for Evolution02:55

The Evidence for Evolution

48.4K
Genetic variations accumulating within populations over generations give rise to biological evolution. Evolutionary changes can result in the formation of novel varieties and entire new species. These changes are responsible for the diverse forms of life inhabiting the planet. The evidence for evolution suggests that all living organisms descended from common ancestors.

Convergent Evolution01:54

Convergent Evolution

33.1K
Evolution shapes the features of organisms over time, ensuring that they are suited for the environments in which they live. Sometimes, selection pressure leads to the rise of similar but unrelated adaptations in organisms with no recent common ancestors, a process known as convergent evolution.

Eukaryotic Evolution

42.2K
The endosymbiont theory is the most widely accepted theory of eukaryotic evolution; however, its progression is still somewhat debated. According to the nucleus-first hypothesis, the ancestral prokaryote first evolved a membrane to enclose DNA and form the nucleus. Conversely, the mitochondria-first hypothesis suggests that the nucleus was formed after endosymbiosis of mitochondria.
Contrary to the endosymbiont theory, the eukaryote-first hypothesis proposes that the simpler prokaryotic and...

Synteny and Evolution02:31

Synteny and Evolution

3.8K
John H. Renwick first coined the term “synteny” in 1971, which refers to the genes present on the same chromosomes, even if they are not genetically linked. The species with common ancestry tend to show conserved syntenic regions. Therefore, the concept of synteny is nowadays used to describe the evolutionary relationship between species.
Around 80 million years ago, the human and mice lineages diverged from the common ancestor. During the course of evolution, the ancestral...

Plant Tissue Culture

Plant tissue culture is widely used in both primary and applied science. Applications range from plant development studies to functional gene studies, crop improvement, commercial micropropagation, virus elimination, and conservation of rare species.

What is Behavior?00:54

What is Behavior?

10.3K
Behaviors are actions that an organism engages in—they can be related to finding food, reproducing, defending against threats, and many other possible actions. Behaviors include activities related to the environment around the animal—such as migration—as well as social interactions within a species or population. Many behaviors involve motor output—that is, muscle movements—while others involve less visible actions, such as learning.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

  • Distraction osteogenesis requires understanding callus mechanical behavior for improved surgical outcomes.
  • Existing studies are limited by confounding mechanical stimulation from fixation devices.
  • Predictive healing models need accurate data on tissue viscoelasticity and evolution.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the mechanobiology of pure distraction.
  • To characterize the viscoelastic behavior of callus tissue under controlled mechanical conditions.
  • To overcome limitations of previous studies by isolating distraction forces.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a novel lateral distraction model in vivo.
  • Maintained bone structural integrity to isolate distraction effects.
  • Collected force relaxation data following stepwise distraction.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated a significant increase in average instantaneous modulus from ~2 kPa to ~1100 kPa.
  • Showed a substantial rise in equilibrium modulus from ~0 kPa to ~200 kPa.
  • Successfully decoupled distraction from secondary mechanical stimulation.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides precise mechanical characterization of callus during distraction osteogenesis.
  • Findings are essential for validating and improving predictive healing models.
  • This research advances the understanding of mechanobiology for enhanced surgical planning and process control.
