An international team of researchers has identified a key genetic mechanism that regulates the formation and migration of cranial neural crest cells, which are essential for developing facial ...

Researchers have uncovered genetic elements that drive the rapid development of marsupials’ facial features. The study in fat-tailed dunnarts, native to Australia, is published today in eLife as the ...

Craniofacial biology encompasses the intricate processes that govern the development, growth, and differentiation of the head and facial structures. Central to this field is the study of neural crest ...

The face is one of the most distinctive features of vertebrates, diverged widely among species while maintaining a highly ...

A signaling pathway once thought to have little if any role during embryogenesis is a key player in the formation of the front-most portion of developing vertebrate embryos. Moreover, signals ...
