Wnt signaling in orofacial clefts: crosstalk, pathogenesis and models

TL;DR: Investigation of the crosstalk between the Wnt and other signaling pathways will improve understanding of orofacial cleft development and provide opportunities for treatment and prevention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aesthetic outcome of cleft lip and palate treatment. Perceptions of patients, families, and health professionals compared to the general public

TL;DR: Findings highlight the observed negative influence of the cleft on the patient's social activity and professional life and underline the need for the highest quality of surgical outcome for this group of patients.

Understanding the human parental brain: a critical role of the orbitofrontal cortex.

TL;DR: Evidence suggesting that the orbitofrontal cortex rapidly responds to a range of infant communicative cues, such as faces and voices, supporting their efficient processing may be fundamental in supporting adults to respond rapidly and appropriately to infant needs is reviewed.

Deletions at 22q11.2 in idiopathic Parkinson's disease: a combined analysis of genome-wide association data

TL;DR: Clinicians should be alert to the possibility of 22q11.2 deletions in patients with Parkinson's disease who have early presentation or features associated with the chromosome 22q 11.2 deletion syndrome, or both.

Retinoic Acid Embryopathy

TL;DR: It is possible that a major mechanism of isotretinoin teratogenesis is a deleterious effect on cephalic neural-crest cell activity that results in the observed craniofacial, cardiac, and thymic malformations.

Apaf1 (CED-4 homolog) regulates programmed cell death in mammalian development.

TL;DR: It is suggested that Apaf1 is essential for Casp3 activation in embryonic brain and is a key regulator of developmental programmed cell death in mammals.

Transforming growth factor-β3 is required for secondary palate fusion

TL;DR: This result demonstrates that TGF–β3 affects palatal shelf fusion by an intrinsic, primary mechanism rather than by effects secondary to craniofacial defects.
