This study examines the craniofacial and dental effects of Wnt5a gain- and loss-of-function in mice, finding distinct phenotypes that mirror the heterogeneity seen in Robinow syndrome.

This study investigates the role of TGF-β signaling in neural crest mesenchyme during mandibular development, finding it reduces osteoclast number and impacts jaw length late in development.

The paper develops a qPCR technique to identify avian sex using the W chromosome gene HINTW and validates it in chick, quail, and duck embryos.

The paper shows that early life stress, measured by family income and adverse childhood experiences, is linked to earlier eruption of permanent molars in children.

This study identifies Thm2 as a novel locus that interacts with Thm1 and sensitizes to Hedgehog signaling in postnatal skeletal development, leading to osteochondrodysplasia.
