Differences in extracellular matrix components and cell density during normal and dexamethasone-treated secondary palate development in two strains of mice with different susceptibility to glucocorticoid induced-clefting.

Abstract excerpt

An histological and histochemical study analyzing cell density and distribution of extracellular matrix (ECM) components in two stages of developing secondary palate and in two strains of mice with different H-2 backgrounds was undertaken to investigate differences between a strain that is susceptible to glucocorticoid-induced cleft palate (A/Sn) and one that is resistant (C57/BL). In addition, the influence of...
