Heterochronic Uncoupling of Brain and Face Morphogenesis Drives Premature Fusion in Ciliary Transition Zone Mutants

Diane Hu, Jay Devine, Wei Liu, Ralph Marcucio, Benedikt Hallgrímsson, Rebecca M. Green, Nathan M. Young

The paper shows that reduced brain growth in ciliary transition zone mutants causes premature facial fusion by mechanically forcing facial prominences into convergence.

Navigating the window: structural bottlenecks in avian craniofacial integration revealed by the ontogenetic patterning of shape variance

Diane Hu, Jay Devine, Wei Liu, Benedikt Hallgrímsson, Ralph Marcucio, Nathan M. Young

The paper analyzes 3D micro-CT images of chicken embryos to show that primary palatal fusion creates a structurally constrained shape window during craniofacial development.

Age-related Delays in Osteochondral Remodeling of Fracture Healing Illustrated by Mass Spectrometry Imaging

Charles A. Schurman, William Chandler, Diane Hu, Harrison B. Taylor, Nannan Tao, Theodore Miclau, Peggi M. Angel, Ralph Marcucio, Birgit Schilling

The paper uses spatial proteomics to show age-related delays in fracture healing by analyzing extracellular matrix composition in young and aged mice.
