Molecular adaptations in MMP genes support lung elasticity and diving adaptations in cetaceans
Abstract Cetaceans are a unique group of marine mammals that have evolved from terrestrial to fully aquatic life. During diving, they experience extreme physiological challenges, including lung collapse, limited gas exchange, and the risk of decompression-related injuries. The matrix metalloproteina...
