Stem cells of the suture mesenchyme in craniofacial bone development, repair and regeneration

Abstract excerpt

Development of the skeleton is mediated through two distinct ossification mechanisms. Craniofacial bones are formed mainly through intramembranous ossification, a mechanism different from endochondral ossification required for development of the body skeleton. The skeletal structures are quite distinct between the two, thus they are likely to have their unique stem cell populations. The sutures serve as the...
