The missing bone
Article Abstract:
The evolution of locomotion in terrestrial vertebrates was dependent on bone mineralization which provided calcium and phosphates that were utilized for structural or skeletal modifications. Bone mineralization was mediated by adipogenic and myogenic mechanisms that promote the differentiation of osteogenic cell lineages. The differentiation of mesenchyme-derived bone cells were also induced by transcription factors that belong to the HLH family of proteins.

Intraobserver error associated with measurements of the hand
Article Abstract:
The intraobserver precision estimates for measures of total hand length and total 3rd-digit length are evaluated from repeated measures on 90 subjects. The results suggest that both total hand length and 3rd-digit length are sufficiently precise for anthropometric research applications.
