Functional role of TGF-β receptors during palatal fusion in vitro

TL;DR: The ability to identify and recover MEE and palatal mesenchymal cells during palatal fusion will aid in the evaluation of the different mechanistic events regulated by each TβR during palatogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association between BMP4 gene polymorphisms and cleft lip with or without cleft palate in a population from South China.

TL;DR: The BMP4 gene polymorphisms rs762642, rs17563, and rs10130587 exhibit different associations with different forms of NSCL/P, suggesting that different forms in a population from South China may have different etiologies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multidisciplinary management of a patient with van der Woude syndrome: A case report.

TL;DR: The orthodontic treatment of a girl diagnosed with VWS resulted in satisfactory outcomes and genetic testing determined a known putative splice site mutation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Operative and Immediate Postoperative Outcomes of Using a Latham-Type Dentomaxillary Appliance in Patients With Unilateral Complete Cleft Lip and Palate.

TL;DR: The use of DMA is associated with a significant reduction in the width of the cleft, and outcomes are predictable without any major adverse events or complications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distinct Expression of miR-378 in Nonsyndromic Cleft Lip and/or Cleft Palate: A Cogitation of Skewed Sex Ratio in Prevalence.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that different expression of miR-378 is consistent with the skewed sex ratio in the prevalence of NSCL/P, revealing mechanisms for sexual dimorphism in prevalence.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.

Clinical manifestations in 105 persons with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome.

TL;DR: The frequency of the clinical and radiological anomalies in Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome in a large population of US patients is delineated and guidelines for diagnosis and management are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
