Racial and ethnic disparities in post-liver transplant outcomes for patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure: An analysis of the UNOS database.

Aim: To evaluate the influence of race and ethnicity on LT outcomes in ACLF.

SPECC1L-deficient primary mouse embryonic palatal mesenchyme cells show speed and directionality defects.

Cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) are common anomalies occurring in 1/800 live-births. Pathogenic SPECC1L variants have been identified in patients with CL/P, which signifies a primary role for SPECC1L in craniofacial development. Specc1l mutant mouse embryos exhibit delayed palatal shelf elevation accompanied by epithelial defects.
