Molecular Basis of Variations in Facial Soft Tissues: Insights from Cichlids

2025-08-04

Abstract excerpt

The human face serves as a crucial component of attractiveness and identity, playing a pivotal role in social interactions. The genetic legacy of the human face reaches back to the evolution of the vertebrate jaw, via transformation of the third gill-arch of lamprey-like ancestors. Teleost fish models, particularly zebrafish, have offered valuable insights into the developmental and molecular mechanisms governing...
