Joints, the articulations that facilitate movement in animals, have emerged over thousands of years through a complex interplay of biological factors and biomechanical pressures. Understanding the origins of joint structure provides valuable insights into the spectrum of animal locomotion and its adaptation to various habitats. From the simple gli

Within the realm of musculoskeletal development, the emergence of joints represents a intriguing demonstration of synergistic emergence. These delicate structures, where bones articulate, arise not from a predetermined blueprint but rather from the fluid interplay of biological processes. Orchestrated by a system of genetic signals, unique cell
