Article Synopsis
- Sacral agenesis (SA) is a rare condition where the sacral spine isn't fully developed, affecting a person's neurological, motor, urinary, and digestive abilities.
- This review compiles current scientific literature from major medical databases to enhance understanding of SA, covering aspects like causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options.
- Most individuals with SA have normal cognitive abilities but need comprehensive care; raising awareness and continuing research about this rare disease is essential for improving patient outcomes.
Uncertainties regarding traditional osteological methods in biological sex estimation can often be overcome with genomic and proteomic analyses. The combination of the three methodologies has been used for a better understanding of the gender-related funerary rituals at the Iberian megalithic cemetery of Panoría. As a result, 44 individuals have been sexed including, for the first time, non-adults.

Epigenetic mechanisms can generate bacterial lineages capable of spontaneously switching between distinct phenotypes. Currently, mathematical models and simulations propose epigenetic switches as a mechanism of adaptation to deal with fluctuating environments. However, bacterial evolution experiments for testing these predictions are lacking.

These organisms are viruses that infect and replicate within bacterial hosts. Phages are ubiquitous on Earth, highly diverse, and very abundant.
