Abstract in brief

Ruminants are unique among mammals for having bony headgear, like horns and antlers, which develop from neural crest stem cells.
Comparative analysis shows that bovine horns and cervid antlers share similar gene expression patterns and cellular origins, with antler regeneration involving oncogene pathways and tumor suppressor genes under strong selection.
These findings shed light on the evolution of ruminant headgear, mammalian organ regeneration, and mechanisms related to tumor growth and suppression.]

*hits the blunt* Did you know antler regeneration in deer is kind of like a controlled form of bone cancer, and they've evolved enhanced tumor suppression pathways that could provide insights into genetic risk factors for cancer or even organ regeneration? https://t.co/jR2t6SLX4N
