Issue Date: | 2019 | Journal: | Frontiers in Immunology | Abstract: | Marine mammals rank among the most charismatic creatures inhabiting our planet. Yet despite their long evolutionary history, we have a limited knowledge of their biology, ecology, and behavior, including their morphofunctional adaptations to sea life. This is also frustrating for translational studies, as gas and fat embolic syndrome, a pathologic condition of Ziphiidae (deep-diving cetaceans), mimics decompression sickness (DCS) in human divers (1). Indeed, the development of a DCS-like condition in animals living exclusively in a marine environment for such a long evolutionary history was totally unpredictable! | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/70039 | ISSN: | 1664-3224 | DOI: | 10.3389/fimmu.2019.02300 | Source: | Frontiers In Immunology [ISSN 1664-3224], v. 10, (Octubre 2019) |
