Molecular control of facial morphology.

Seminars in cell & developmental biology - 1 May 2010

Liu B, Rooker S M, Helms J A

Abstract excerpt

We present a developmental perspective on the concept of phylotypic and phenotypic stages of craniofacial development. Within orders of avians and mammals, a phylotypic period exists when the morphology of the facial prominences is minimally divergent. We postulate that species-specific facial variations arise as a result of subtle shifts in the timing and the duration of molecular pathway activity (e.g.,...
