BACKGROUND: Several previous studies suggested increased risk of craniosynostosis
among infants born to women who smoked. METHODS: This study used data from the …

The functional significance of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling in bone formation has
been demonstrated through genetic loss‐of‐function and gain‐of‐function approaches …

Mechanical force across sutures is able to promote suture osteogenesis. Orthodontic clinics
often use this biological characteristic of sutures to treat congenital cranio‐maxillofacial …

Harnessing the differentiation of stem cells into bone-forming cells represents an intriguing
avenue for the creation of functional skeletal tissues. Therefore, a profound understanding of …

Bone tissue provides structural support for our bodies, with the inner bone marrow (BM)
acting as a hematopoietic organ. Within the BM tissue, two types of stem cells play crucial …

The cranial suture complex is a heterogeneous tissue consisting of osteogenic progenitor
cells and mesenchymal stem cells (MSC s) from bone marrow and suture mesenchyme. The …

Craniosynostosis describes the premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures and can
lead to dramatic manifestations in terms of appearance and functional impairment …

Introduction Progress in cranial suture research is shaping our current understanding of the
topic; however, emphasis has been placed on individual contributing components rather …

Premature closure of cranial sutures, which serve as growth centers for the skull vault, result
in craniosynostosis. In the mouse posterior frontal (PF) suture closes by endochondral …

The mammalian skull vault is essential to shape the head and protect the brain, but the
cellular and molecular events underlying its development remain incompletely understood …
