Genetic requirement of dact1/2 to regulate noncanonical Wnt signaling and calpain 8 during embryonic convergent extension and craniofacial morphogenesis

The paper identifies distinct and overlapping roles of dact1 and dact2 in regulating noncanonical Wnt signaling and calpain 8 during embryonic convergent extension and craniofacial development.

Functional analysis of ESRP1/2 gene variants and CTNND1 isoforms in orofacial cleft pathogenesis

The paper functionally tests ESRP1/2 variants and CTNND1 isoforms in orofacial cleft models, finding some variants are benign and showing CTNND1's role in palatogenesis.

Neural crest and periderm-specific requirements of Irf6 during neural tube and craniofacial development

This study generates a conditional Irf6 mouse model to investigate its role in periderm and neural crest development, revealing distinct phenotypes in these lineages.

Requirement of Irf6 and Esrp1/2 in frontonasal and palatal epithelium to regulate craniofacial and palate morphogenesis in mouse and zebrafish

This study investigates the role of Irf6 and Esrp1/2 in craniofacial development across mouse and zebrafish, identifying their expression patterns and genetic interactions in cleft formation.
