Wnt signaling is critical for proper development of the head and face in the mouse embryo, playing important roles in various aspects of craniofacial development ranging from axis formation to survival of cranial neural crest cells to patterning of the brain. The signaling requirements for the development of different cell lineages in the head and face are active areas of investigation. In this study, we use a recently developed TCF/Lef-LacZ transgenic reporter mouse to characterize the expression of canonical Wnt signaling activity during craniofacial development. We present an atlas of representative sections to show embryonic craniofacial development. Our results demonstrate a pattern of sustained Wnt signaling reporter activity in most tissues which suggests sequential roles in craniofacial development.

Changes in upper airway airflow after rapid maxillary expansion considering normal craniofacial development as a factor: a retrospective study using computer fluid dynamics.

Background/objectives: Evidence suggests nasal airflow resistance reduces after rapid maxillary expansion (RME). However, the medium-term effects of RME on upper airway (UA) airflow characteristics when normal craniofacial development is considered are still unclear. This retrospective cohort study used computer fluid dynamics (CFD) to evaluate the medium-term changes in the UA airflow (pressure and velocity) after RME in two distinct age-based cohorts.

The lysine acetyltransferase 6A (KAT6A, MOZ, MYST3) is a member of the MYST family of protein acetyltransferases, which are essential for different biological processes such as craniofacial, embryonic, stem cell development, and hematopoiesis. KAT6A is an oncogene in human acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and KAT6A overexpression in AML is associated with metastases and poor prognoses. Furthermore, KAT6A mutations play an important role in cancer formation and progression and result in therapeutic resistance in both hematopoietic malignancies and solid tumors.

Objective: To evaluate the frequency of tooth anomalies (TA) in the deciduous and permanent dentition of patients with nonsyndromic orofacial clefts (NSOC), both inside and outside the cleft area.
Methods: The following databases were searched for the relevant literature: Cochrane, OVID, SciELO, Embase, Livivo, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. The risk of bias was analyzed using the Joanna Briggs Institute.

The management of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) in elderly patients can present a significant challenge for dentists due to its multifactorial etiology, aging-related changes that contribute to TMD, and the fragile psychological state of these patients. Despite the growing prevalence of TMD in the elderly population, the scientific literature provides limited information about effective management strategies for this group. Therefore, it is crucial for researchers and clinicians to focus on improving our understanding of TMD in the elderly population and to develop more effective treatment approaches.

The regulation of the charged microenvironment around implants is an effective way to promote osseointegration. Although homeostasis of the charged microenvironment plays an integral role in tissues, current research is externally invasive and unsuitable for clinical applications. In this study, functional materials with different surface potential differences are prepared by changing the spatial layout of Ta and Ag on the surface of a Ti-6Al-4V alloy (TC4).
