Wnt5a gain- and loss-of-function present distinctly in craniofacial bone

This study examines the craniofacial and dental effects of Wnt5a gain- and loss-of-function in mice, finding distinct phenotypes that mirror the heterogeneity seen in Robinow syndrome.

TGF-β Signaling in Cranial Neural Crest Affects Late-Stage Mandibular Bone Resorption and Length

This study investigates the role of TGF-β signaling in neural crest mesenchyme during mandibular development, finding it reduces osteoclast number and impacts jaw length late in development.

A novel qPCR-based technique for identifying avian sex: an illustration within embryonic craniofacial bone

The paper develops a qPCR technique to identify avian sex using the W chromosome gene HINTW and validates it in chick, quail, and duck embryos.
