Neonatal Satellite Cells Form Small Myotubes In Vitro.

TL;DR: Age-dependent differences in stem cell properties urge careful consideration for future clinical applications in patients with cleft palate, especially in their delayed differentiation.

Transforming Growth Factor Alpha Taq I Polymorphisms and Nonsyndromic Cleft Lip and/or Palate Risk: A Meta-Analysis.

TL;DR: It is indicated that the TGFA gene polymorphism might be associated with nonsyndromic CL/P susceptibility, however, these findings still need to be confirmed by single, large, well-designed prospective studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Subphenotyping and Classification of Cleft Lip and Alveolus in Adult Unoperated Patients: A New Embryological Approach

TL;DR: This study showed that all CL±A including the Simonart bands can be classified, that further morphological grading of incomplete CLs is clinically relevant, and that the premaxilla forms the deficient part in alveolar deformities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phenotypes, Developmental Basis, and Genetics of Pierre Robin Complex

TL;DR: This review presents the current understanding of PR phenotypes, the proposed pathogenetic processes underlying them, select genes associated with PR, and available animal models that could be used to better understand the genetic basis and phenotypic variation of PR.

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.

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.
