This study found that cetaceans have adapted their fibroblast growth factors to assist in low bone density, hypoxia tolerance, and the development of rigid flippers, reflecting significant evolutionary changes for aquatic life.

This study described the diverse vibrissal follicle anatomy in fetuses of three cetacean species and observed species-specific differences, supporting further investigation into vibrissal form and function across cetaceans.

This study found that the Hr gene loss and positive selection for the FGF5 gene in cetaceans likely contributed to hair loss as these animals adapted to aquatic environments.

This study highlights the loss of hair-type keratin genes in cetaceans compared to terrestrial mammals, suggesting a potential adaptive role linked to their hairless phenotype and habitat changes.

This study found that Fraser's Dolphin, a tight-skinned mammal, can regenerate complex skin architecture with minimal scarring after large full-thickness wounds, even in high-tension environments, offering insights into regenerative healing mechanisms typically obscured by fibrotic responses.
