conserved

This study sheds light on evolution in two ways: we can see how biochemical pathways common to two entirely separate kingdoms of life, plants and animals, have been largely conserved through our long history apart.

“It is highly conserved across species — believe it or not, but even fruit flies sleep.”

For decades, researchers have studied the RANK/RANKL system as a key facilitator of essential, evolutionarily conserved processes.

The pearling phenomenon is likely conserved over millions of years, Burkhardt says.

This demonstrates that the mechanism is conserved across different microbes and lifestyles,' said Professor Alga Zuccaro.
