FGFR antagonists restore defective mandibular bone repair in a mouse model of osteochondrodysplasia [PDF]
Gain-of-function mutations in fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) genes lead to chondrodysplasia and craniosynostoses. FGFR signaling has a key role in the formation and repair of the craniofacial skeleton. Here, we analyzed the impact of Fgfr2- and

The influence of closed sutures on cranial morphology in Apert and Crouzon syndromes: A quantitative analysis. [PDF]
This quantitative study identified distinct cranial vault morphologies in Apert and Crouzon syndromes, with a larger anterior fossa in Apert and high variability in Crouzon, reflecting different patterns of suture closure. Abstract Craniosynostoses are congenital conditions characterized by premature suture fusions, altering skull growth and ...

Prevalence and Patterns of Permanent Tooth Agenesis in Patients With Crouzon or Apert Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Crouzon and Apert syndromes are rare syndromic craniosynostoses frequently associated with craniofacial and dental anomalies, including tooth agenesis. Although individual studies have reported tooth agenesis prevalence data in specific populations, no attempts have been made to systematically synthesise these data.

The importance of physical treatment in children underwent craniosynostosis surgery in the first year of life [PDF]
Background/Aim. Craniosynostosis is a condition that occurs intrauterine or develops in the infant period, and represents premature fusion of cranial sutures. This fusion of sutures limits the normal cranium development and leads to disorder in the phase

Pterygoid bone malformation and its limitations on the effectiveness of brachycephalic airway corrective surgery in brachycephalic dogs. [PDF]
Objectives This study aimed to examine the association between pterygoid bone medialisation and treatment outcomes after upper airway surgery in three brachycephalic breeds. Materials and Methods Dogs that underwent CT of the head followed by routine surgery for brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome were recruited in this study.

Non-syndromic craniosynostosis: a retrospective analysis [PDF]
Introduction: Craniosynostoses are defined as premature fusions of one or more cranial sutures. They can be classified according to the sutures involved, correlated malformations and genetic alterations, and maybe syndromic or not.

Craniofacial anomalies are among the most common of birth defects. The pathogenesis of craniofacial anomalies frequently involves defects in the migration, proliferation, and fate of neural crest cells destined for the craniofacial skeleton.

Geometric growth of the normal human craniocervical junction from 0 to 18 years old. [PDF]
This research investigates the growth dynamics of the craniocervical junction (CCJ) in children. By compiling geometric models of normal skull base growth and analysing closure patterns of synchondroses and sutures, it reveals distinct developmental trajectories and covariations between CCJ bones.
