Abstract in brief

• Their varied presence and form in lizards make them a great subject for studying how osteoderms develop, function, and have evolved, with past research focusing on their structure and anatomy, revealing differences in layering and tissue composition.
• There is still uncertainty about how osteoderms develop at the cellular and genetic levels, particularly regarding the roles of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, which is important for understanding their formation and evolutionary history.]
