Molecular control of secondary palate development.

Abstract excerpt

Compared with the embryonic development of other organs, development of the secondary palate is seemingly simple. However, each step of palatogenesis, from initiation until completion, is subject to a tight molecular control that is governed by epithelial-mesenchymal interactions. The importance of a rigorous molecular regulation of palatogenesis is reflected when loss of function of a single protein generates...
