The neural crest is a stem/progenitor cell population that contributes to a wide variety of
derivatives, including sensory and autonomic ganglia, cartilage and bone of the face and …

Skeletal muscles belong to the musculoskeletal system, which is composed of bone, tendon,
ligament and irregular connective tissue, and closely associated with motor nerves and …

Reconstruction of osteochondral (OC) defects represents an immense challenge due to the
need for synchronous regeneration of special stratified tissues. The revolutionary innovation …

Fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) are an interstitial cell population in adult skeletal
muscle that support muscle regeneration. During development, interstitial muscle connective …

Knowledge about the genetic pathways that control nephron development is essential for
better understanding the basis of congenital malformations of the kidney. The transcription …

During development, lymph node (LN) initiation is coordinated by lymphoid tissue organizer
(LTo) cells that attract lymphoid tissue inducer (LTi) cells at strategic positions within the …

Cleft palate is a common major birth defect for which currently known causes account for
less than 30% of pathology in humans. In this study, we carried out mutagenesis screening …

We present a gene expression atlas of early mouse craniofacial development. Laser capture
microdissection (LCM) was used to isolate cells from the principal critical microregions …

Proper development of tendons is crucial for the integration and function of the
musculoskeletal system. Currently little is known about the molecular mechanisms …

Heterotopic ossification is the abnormal formation of mineralized bone in skin, muscle,
tendon, or other soft tissues. Tendon ossification often occurs from acute tendon injury or …
