Neural crest cells are a vertebrate-specific migratory, multipotent cell population that give
rise to a diverse array of cells and tissues during development. Cranial neural crest cells, in …

Evidence from model organisms and clinical genetics suggests coordination between the
developing brain and face, but the role of this link in common genetic variation remains …

The mandibular and hyoid arches collectively make up the facial skeleton, also known as
the viscerocranium. Although all three germ layers come together to assemble the …

Introduction The masseter muscle is considered to be bilayered, consisting of a superficial
and a deep part. However, a few historical texts mention the possible existence of a third …

Coordinated development of muscles, tendons, and their attachment sites ensures
emergence of functional musculoskeletal units that are adapted to diverse anatomical …

A report published in the Annals of Anatomy recently stated that the coronoid part of the
masseter was a newly described layer. However, there have been numerous discussions …

DLX5 and DLX6 are two closely related transcription factors involved in brain development
and in GABAergic differentiation. The DLX5/6 locus is regulated by FoxP2, a gene involved …

Neural crest cells (NCCs) give rise to various tissues including neurons, pigment cells, bone
and cartilage in the head. Distal-less homeobox 5 (Dlx5) is involved in both jaw patterning …

Neuronal circuits integrating Parvalbumin-positive GABAergic inhibitory interneurons (PV)
are essential for normal brain function and are often altered in psychiatric conditions. During …

Neural crest cells (NCCs) contribute to several tissues during embryonic development. NCC
formation depends on activation of tightly regulated molecular programs at the neural plate …
