Made possible by strong collaboration within @au.dk & internationally @vickaryouslab.bsky.social @anthony-herrel.bsky.social @mmoazen.bsky.social, and funding from @hfspo.bsky.social and @novonordisk.bsky.social via AXIA and enabled by DanMAX @maxivlaboratory.bsky.social. #BluSci #lizard #osteoderm

Then we show that the capping tissue of (very) distantly taxa can be also mechanically impressive but with an entirely opposite nano structure (small crystals highly ordered e.g. in Tiliqua in comparison with the large and disordered crystals of Heloderma).

With talks on topics from blood cell cancers, light and the 👁 , how to teach physiology, gas exchange, metabolism, lungs 🫁 and their differences between sexes and the effect of gender via different risk exposures.

The role of cranial osteoderms on the mechanics of the skull in scincid lizards
Osteoderms (ODs) are calcified organs formed directly within the skin of most major extant tetrapod lineages. Lizards possibly show the greatest diversity in ODs morphology and distribution. ODs are ...
