The effects of muscular dystrophy on craniofacial growth in mice: a study of heterochrony and ontogenetic allometry.

Journal of morphology - 1 Jan 1998

Lightfoot P S, German R Z

Abstract excerpt

Mechanical loading of muscles on bones at their sites of attachment can regulate skeletal morphology. The present study examined the effects of muscle degeneration on craniofacial growth, using two strains of muscular dystrophic mice, Mus musculus, differing in pathological severity. We collected...
