Abstract excerpt
Craniosynostosis is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by premature fusion of the skull bone sutures. To evaluate the pathogenesis of premature cranial suture ossification in craniosynostosis, we have evaluated the histologic indices of bone formation and the characteristics of osteoblastic c...
