Research progress on pathogenic genes and molecular mechanisms of nonsyndromic tooth agenesis
Tooth agenesis is a common tooth number deficiency that occurs in the tooth-forming process or earlier period of tooth germ development and has a serious impact on the maxillofacial development, aesthetics and masticatory function of patients.

Analyses of oligodontia phenotypes and genetic etiologies
Oligodontia is the congenital absence of six or more teeth and comprises the more severe forms of tooth agenesis. Many genes have been implicated in the etiology of tooth agenesis, which is highly variable in its clinical presentation.

ABSTRACT The epidermal differentiation complex (EDC) is a cluster of genes implicated in the control of the skin barrier. However, some EDC genes are also expressed at high levels in the human oesophagus. To determine whether the expression of EDC genes in the oesophagus is evolutionarily conserved, we performed comparative transcriptomic analyses of ...

Background Chromosome 14q11‐q22 deletion syndrome (OMIM 613457) is a rare contiguous gene syndrome. Two regions of overlap (RO) of the 14q12q21.1 deletion have been identified: a proximal region (RO1), including FOXG1(*164874), NKX2‐1(*600635), and PAX9(*

ABSTRACT Professional experiments in genetic research usually start in a class at university. However, interest in genetic research techniques from an early age is essential. We have continuously performed a short genetic experimental course for high school students using a simple molecular experiment and computer‐based learning for Mendelian ...

Six2 regulates Pax9 expression, palatogenesis and craniofacial bone formation
In this study, we investigated the role of the transcription factor Six2 in palate development. Six2 was selected using the SysFACE tool to predict genes from the 2p21 locus, a region associated with clefting in humans by GWAS, that are likely to be involved in palatogenesis.

E‐Cigarette and Vanillin Exposure Disrupts Cardiovascular Development in Xenopus laevis
ABSTRACT Introduction Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are a leading cause of perinatal mortality, and maternal cigarette smoking is a well‐established risk factor. In recent years, electronic cigarette (e‐cigarette) use has surged, yet its safety during pregnancy remains poorly defined.

Deconstructing the Thymic Microenvironment Through Genesis to Senescence
ABSTRACT The thymus is essential for adaptive immunity, orchestrating the differentiation of hematopoietic progenitors into various T‐cell lineages. Thymic epithelial cells (TECs) impart this unique function by mediating the major checkpoints in T‐cell differentiation while also imposing stringent tolerance processes required to prevent autoimmunity ...
