Recent research reveals that synovial joints originated in early jawed fish, reshaping our understanding of vertebrate skeletal evolution and movement.

Ancient fish had synovial joints, challenging the idea that flexible skeletons evolved on land. Fossils and modern fish show ...

Jawed vertebrates known as gnathostomes appear to be the first creatures with the synovial joints, according to Shubin. These joint cavities can be seen in cartilaginous fish such as skates or sharks.

In a nutshell Synovial joints—the flexible, lubricated connections that allow smooth movement in our bodies—first appeared in the common ancestor of all jawed vertebrates but are absent in jawless ...

Synovial joints have synovial fluid in the joint cavity that lubricates or 'oils' the joint so it moves smoothly. Synovial fluid is made by the synovial membrane. In synovial joints, the ends of ...

A synovial joint allows bones or cartilage to slide past each other with the aid of a lubricated cavity between them. These joints are present in land vertebrates and bony fish, suggesting this ...

TGCT arises from dysregulation of CSF1, leading to overproduction of the CSF1 protein and accumulation in the synovial covering of joint spaces and in tendon sheaths. Affected patients have ...
