Dynamic mRNA Expression Analysis of the Secondary Palatal Morphogenesis in Miniature Pigs.

TL;DR: A comprehensive analysis for understanding the dynamic gene regulation during palate development is provided and potential ideas and resources to further study normal palate development and the etiology of cleft palate are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Facial and midfacial symmetry in cleft patients: Comparison to non-cleft children and influence of the primary treatment concept

TL;DR: An adequate treatment concept is essential to achieve better results concerning symmetry in CLAP, but symmetry values of healthy non-cleft controls are not reached.

Epidemiological features of patients with nonsyndromic cleft lip and/or palate in Western Parana

TL;DR: The importance of identifying systemic alterations and risk factors associated with NSCL/P in the Brazilian population for planning comprehensive strategies and integrated actions for the development of preventive programs and treatment is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Descent of the human larynx: An unrecognized factor in airway distress in babies with cleft palate?

TL;DR: It is hypothesize that a cleft palate, by interrupting the sphincter function of palatopharyngeus on a high neonatal epiglottis, precipitates a need for premature and rapid maturation of the neonate's airway protection pattern, particularly during feeding, which may explain why some babies with cleft palates suffer respiratory distress during feeding.

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.
