Estrogen/estrogen receptor alpha signaling in mouse posterofrontal cranial suture fusion.

Estrogen/estrogen receptor alpha signaling in mouse posterofrontal cranial suture fusion.

While premature suture fusion, or craniosynostosis, is a relatively common condition, the cause is often unknown. Estrogens are associated with growth plate fusion of endochondral bones. In the following study, we explore the previously unknown significance of estrogen/estrogen receptor signaling in...
