The annual regrowth of deer antlers provides a valuable model for studying organ regeneration in mammals. We describe single-cell atlas antler regrowth. earliest-stage initiators were mesenchymal cells that express the paired related homeobox 1 gene ( PRRX1 + cells). also identified population “antler blastema progenitor cells” (ABPCs) developed from and directed process. Cross-species comparisons ABPCs several mammalian blastema. In vivo vitro displayed strong self-renewal ability could...
The biological mechanisms that underpin primate social evolution remain poorly understood. Asian colobines display a range of organizations, which makes them good models for investigating evolution. By integrating ecological, geological, fossil, behavioral, and genomic analyses, we found colobine primates inhabit colder environments tend to live in larger, more complex groups. Specifically, glacial periods during the past 6 million years promoted selection genes involved cold-related energy...
