COMPOUND OSTEODERMS PRESERVED IN AMBER REVEAL THE OLDEST KNOWN SKINK

Abstract Scincidae is one of the most species-rich and cosmopolitan clades of squamate reptiles.Abundant disarticulated fossil material has also been attributed to this group, however, no complete pre-Cenozoic crown-scincid specimens have been found.A specimen in Burmite (99 MYA) is the first fossil that can be unambiguously referred to this clade.

Abstract Dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS) is one of the most common subtypes of soft tissue sarcoma with a highly variable clinical behavior.Despite advanced molecular approaches are exploring the genetic Parts panorama of DDLPS progression, to date the driver genes of the aggressive clinical behavior in DDLPS have not been identified yet.Here,
