Cranial osteogenesis and suture morphology in Xenopus laevis: a unique model system for studying craniofacial development.
BACKGROUND:The tremendous diversity in vertebrate skull formation illustrates the range of forms and functions generated by varying genetic programs. Understanding the molecular basis for this variety may provide us with insights into mechanisms underlying human craniofacial anomalies. In this study...
