Regulation of Calvarial Osteogenesis by Concomitant De-repression of GLI3 and Activation of IHH Targets [PDF]
Loss-of-function mutations in GLI3 and IHH cause craniosynostois and reduced osteogeneiss, respectively. In this study, we show that ihh ligand, the receptor Ptch1 and Gli transcription factors are differentialyy expressed in embryonic mouse calvaria ...

Novel use of an ultrasonic bone-cutting device for endoscopic-assisted craniosynostosis surgery [PDF]
Endoscopic-assisted craniosynostosis surgery is associated with less blood loss and shorter operative times as compared to open surgery. However, in infants who have low circulating blood volumes, the endoscopic approach is still associated with ...
