The hypothesis that variation in craniofacial shape within and among species is influenced
by spatial packing has a long history in comparative anatomy, particularly in terms of …

Efforts to enhance bone regeneration in orthopedic and dental cases have grown steadily
for the past decade, in line with increasingly sophisticated regenerative medicine. To meet …

The syndromic craniosynostoses, usually involving multiple sutures, are hereditary forms of …

Craniosynostosis is a very heterogeneous group of disorders, in the etiology of which
genetics play an important role. Chromosomal alterations are important causative …

There have been very few morphological studies regarding brain parietal volumes. This is
probably a result of the fact that their boundaries are rather difficult to establish. Functions of …

Neural crest cells appear early during embryogenesis and give rise to many structures in the
mature adult. In particular, a specific population of neural crest cells migrates to and …

Gain-of-function mutations in fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptors result in
chondrodysplasia and craniosynostosis syndromes, highlighting the critical role for FGF …

Huntington's disease is an autosomal dominant brain disease. Although conceptualized as
a neurodegenerative disease of the striatum, a growing number of studies challenge this …

The mouse has been the dominant model organism in studies on the development, genetics
and evolution of the mammalian skull and associated soft‐tissue for decades. There is the …

The cranial bones constitute the protective structures of the skull, which surround and protect
the brain. Due to the limited repair capacity, the reconstruction and regeneration of skull …
