Dynamic activation of Wnt, Fgf, and Hh signaling during soft palate development.

PLoS ONE, 2019
The soft palate is a key component of the oropharyngeal complex that is critical for swallowing, breathing, hearing and speech. However, complete functional restoration in patients with cleft soft palate remains a challenging task.

A Comprehensive Study of Soft Palate Development in Mice.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Cleft palate is one of the most common congenital birth defects. Tremendous efforts have been made over the last decades towards understanding hard palate development. However, little is known about soft palate morphogenesis and myogenesis.

Digital cephalometric analysis illustrating morphological variation of the soft palate

Journal of Indian Academy of Oral Medicine and Radiology, 2015
Introduction and Objectives: The soft palate plays a vital role in velopharyngeal closure which is strongly dependent on a close coordination of the velum and the contiguous pharyngeal structures. It is reasonable to hypothesize that these structures may

Pathologic anatomy of the soft palate, part 2: The soft tissue lever arm, pathology, and surgical correction

Journal of Cleft Lip Palate and Craniofacial Anomalies, 2017
Pathologic anatomy of the soft palate, part 2: The soft tissue lever arm, pathology, and reconstruction. In part two, we consider the soft tissue components of the soft palate: Epithelium, fascia, muscles, arterial supply, and innervation.
