Unveiling a New Link: Cholesterol Deficiency in Smith–Lemli–Opitz and Niemann–Pick C as a Driver of Ciliopathies

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ciliopathies are a group of genetic disorders caused by defective function of either the primary cilia (a large number) or the motile cilia (a much smaller number). These have been defined as diseases with mutations in genes encoding individual ciliary or cilia‐associated proteins.

Histopathologic Analysis of the Morpho‐Functional Zones of the Human Acetabular Labrum

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The structural and functional adaptation of soft tissues to mechanical load controls their ability to withstand injury and influences their capacity for healing. Similar to the knee meniscus, the acetabular labrum exhibits zonal differences in mechanical load distribution, resulting in distinct regions with unique structural and functional ...

Management of post‐implant fibrous dysplasia in the maxilla: A case study

Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Fibrous dysplasia is generally rare, and even rarer in older adults. Special care is needed when altering the alveolar bone in these cases, especially if an implant is involved. This case study highlights such a scenario. Methods This case study details the experience of a 63‐year‐old African American female who presented with a ...

Pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets of trichorhinophalangeal syndrome; lessons obtained from animal studies

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome (TRPS) is a rare genetic disease inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. It occurs in 1 in 100,000 people globally and is caused by several types of mutations of the TRPS1 gene. Since the first human patient was reported in 1966, typical and atypical pathologies, disease courses, and treatment case ...

The role of Rho GTPases in facial morphogenesis

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
The role of small GTPases, RHOA, RAC1, and CDC42 and pathway mediators is reviewed in the context of embryonic facial development. Lip fusion requires cytoskeletal remodeling during morphogenesis of the facial processes and during lip fusion.

Fibrous Dysplasia versus Juvenile Ossifying Fibroma: A Dilemma

Case Reports in Dentistry, 2016
Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a condition characterized by excessive proliferation of bone forming mesenchymal cells which can affect one bone (monostotic type) or multiple bones (polyostotic type). It is predominantly noticed in adolescents and young adults.
