<i>nkx3.2</i> mutant zebrafish accommodate jaw joint loss through a phenocopy of the head shapes of Paleozoic jawless fish
2019-09-19
Abstract excerpt
The vertebrate jaw is a versatile feeding apparatus that facilitated explosive diversification. To function, it requires a joint between the upper and lower jaws, so jaw joint defects - such as osteoarthritis or even ankylosis - are often highly disruptive and difficult to study. To describe consequences of jaw-joint dysfunction, we engineered two independent null alleles of a single jaw-joint marker gene, nkx3.2...
