Low‐Level Mosaicism in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC): Diagnostic and Clinical Implications From Two Novel Cases and Literature Review

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mosaicism is relatively common in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) but can be difficult to detect using routine diagnostic tests, particularly when the variant allele frequency (VAF) is low. We describe two cases of mosaic TSC diagnosed using an ultra‐deep sequencing approach in multiple tissues and review the literature about this topic in ...

An in vivo assay for osteoclast activity using mouse calvaria

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study describes a novel method for measuring osteoclast‐mediated bone resorption in vivo using a mouse model. Localized injection of RANKL in a basement membrane matrix above the cranium induced osteoclast‐mediated bone resorption. Utilizing micro‐computed tomography and a semiautomated three‐dimensional analysis program, osteoclast resorption pit

Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high‐impact joint

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),

Trabecular bone ontogeny of the human talus

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Studies of trabecular ontogeny may provide insight into the factors that drive healthy bone development. There is a growing understanding of how the juvenile skeleton responds to these influences; however, gaps in our knowledge remain. This study aims to identify ontogenetic trabecular patterns and regional changes during development within ...

Skeletal pathologies in extant crocodilians as a window into the paleopathology of fossil archosaurs

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Crocodilians, together with birds, are the only extant relatives to many extinct archosaur groups, making them highly important for interpreting paleopathological conditions in a phylogenetic disease bracketing model. Despite this, comprehensive data on osteopathologies in crocodilians remain scarce.

Role of soft tissue and bone interactions in the developmental integration and modularity of the skull in neural crest‐specific gap junction alpha‐1 knockout mice

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The vertebrate skull is composed of bones derived from neural crest cells and mesoderm. The evolutionary capacity of the skull has been linked, in part, to the emergence of neural crest cells; however, this increased capacity for evolutionary change requires that variation within neural crest‐ and mesoderm‐derived bones remains partly ...

Omori‐like decay of postseismic velocities following continental earthquakes

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2017
Various mechanisms have been proposed to explain the transient, enhanced surface deformation rates following earthquakes. Unfortunately, these different mechanisms can produce very similar surface deformation patterns leading to difficulty in ...

Navigating the Genetic Risk of Chemotherapy‐Induced Hearing Loss in the Stria Vascularis

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Cisplatin is a chemotherapy drug that causes permanent hearing loss by damaging a critical tissue lining the inner ear, called the stria vascularis (SV). Currently, the molecular mechanisms of SV damage are largely unknown and the incidence of ototoxicity in patients cannot be reliably predicted.
