JEB: 100 years of discovery
J Exp Biol (2023) 226 (Suppl_1): jeb245042.
Published: 26 January 2023
...Armita R. Manafzadeh ABSTRACT Joints enable nearly all vertebrate animal motion, from feeding to locomotion. However, despite well over a century of arthrological research, we still understand very little about how the structure of joints relates to the kinematics they exhibit in life...

...Laura M. Zimmerman ABSTRACT Ten years ago, ‘Understanding the vertebrate immune system: insights from the reptilian perspective’ was published. At the time, our understanding of the reptilian immune system lagged behind that of birds, mammals, fish and amphibians. Since then, great progress has...

Lillywhite SUMMARY The vertebrate integument represents an evolutionary compromise between the needs for mechanical protection and those of sensing the environment and regulating the exchange of materials and energy. Fibrous keratins evolved as a means of strengthening the integument...

...Philip E. Bickler; Paul H. Donohoe SUMMARY The damage caused to mammalian neurons during ischaemic events in the brain(e.g. following a stroke), is an area of major interest to neuroscientists. The neurons of hypoxia-tolerant vertebrates offer unique models for identifying new strategies to enhance...

... (see above), the Boltzmann equation ( Burton, 1973b ) implies surface pH values near 6.2. It now seems at least plausible that there exists a common determinant of optimum pHa in ectothermic vertebrates, namely a cell-surface structure with a conserved requirement for surface pH. Minor...

...J. J. Videler; U. K. Müller; E. J. Stamhuis ABSTRACT Vertebrates swimming with undulations of the body and tail have inflection points where the curvature of the body changes from concave to convex or vice versa . These inflection points travel down the body at the speed of the running wave...

...G. W. G. Chalmers; J. M. Gosline; M. A. Lillie ABSTRACT An evolutionary trend towards increasing hydrophobicity of vertebrate arterial elastins suggests that there is an adaptive advantage to higher hydrophobicity. The swelling and dynamic mechanical properties of elastins from several species were...

...Austen F. Riggs ABSTRACT Cooperative ligand binding by tetrameric vertebrate hemoglobins (Hbs) makes possible the delivery of oxygen at higher pressures than would otherwise occur. This cooperativity depends on changes in dimer–dimer interactions within the tetramer and is reflected in a 50 000...

In vertebrates, the primitive metabolic pattern involved the use of aerobic metabolism to support moderate swimming performance, supplemented by bursts of activity fuelled through lactic acid production. Because of much greater locomotor costs, the transition...
