TL;DR: It is shown here that MO off-targeting results in induction of a p53-dependent cell death pathway, and p53 inhibition could potentially be applicable to other systems to suppress off- target effects caused by other knockdown technologies.

TL;DR: It is shown that two different missense mutations in WNT5A, which result in amino acid substitutions of highly conserved cysteines, are associated with autosomal dominant Robinow syndrome, and that proper formation and growth of these structures is sensitive to variations in W NT5A function.

TL;DR: The current study was performed to describe frequencies and risk factors of altered oral health and odontogenesis in childhood cancer survivors.

TL;DR: Evaluating the effects of a companion animal (dog) on physiologic arousal and behavioral distress among children undergoing a dental procedure revealed that for children who initially verbalized distress on arrival at the clinic, the presence of the dog decreased physiologic aroused during the time the child was on the dental table waiting for the dentist to arrive.

TL;DR: Wand injections can deliver proper anesthesia, utilizing one palatal injection site, while significantly reducing the likelihood of disruptive behaviors during the initial moments of an injection.
