AI Article Synopsis
- There are many atlases on prenatal human development, but none specifically focus on the orofacial development related to maxillary and mandibular bone formation.
- These developmental processes occur during various fetal stages and include dental and temporomandibular joint formation.
- The new atlas utilizes three-dimensional reconstructions for a comprehensive view, allowing electronic dissection of layers, and is available online at the Journal's website.
Article Abstract
There are several atlases available showing prenatal human development. However, none is focused on prenatal orofacial development during maxillary and mandibular bone formation. These events, together with dental development and formation of the temporomandibular joint, take place during several fetal stages. While photographic atlases are limited to depicting the outer shape, and atlases based on histological sections only show a series of single sections, an atlas based on three-dimensional reconstructions from serial sections can show both the outer skin and the structures underneath, which can be electronically dissected layer by layer. In this Focus article, we present our atlas on prenatal human orofacial development, which is accessible online at the Journal's website.

Bisphenol S (BPS) is widely used as a substitute for Bisphenol A (BPA). While perinatal BPS exposure is suspected to increase susceptibility to high-caloric diet-induced adipogenesis, how BPS affects offspring remains largely unknown. This study explored effects of prenatal BPS exposure on adiposity and insulin resistance in high-fat diet (HFD)-fed C57BL/6 offspring, revealing significant changes in body weight, glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, and histopathology.

Article Synopsis
- A recent study by Gopee et al. reveals that macrophages have an unexpected role in human prenatal skin development beyond just their immune function.
- By creating a detailed multi-omics single-cell atlas, the researchers illustrate how these innate immune cells contribute to crucial processes like hair follicle formation, scarless wound healing, and neurovascular development.
- This research highlights the importance of understanding immune cells in developmental biology, potentially impacting future studies and therapies.

The China Prospective Multi-Center Birth Cohort Study was launched in 2022. In collaboration with medical centers in 12 cities, it aims to establish a high-quality, multidimensional cohort comprising 20,000 natural pregnancy and assisted reproductive families. As of June 26, 2024, 12,911 pregnant women have participated in this study, and 161,122 biological samples have been collected.

The third trimester of human gestation is characterised by rapid increases in brain volume and cortical surface area. Recent studies have revealed a remarkable molecular diversity across the prenatal cortex but little is known about how this diversity translates into the differential rates of cortical expansion observed during gestation. We present a digital resource, μBrain, to facilitate knowledge translation between molecular and anatomical descriptions of the prenatal brain.

The human immune system is made up of a huge variety of cell types each with unique functions. Local networks of resident immune cells are poised to sense and protect against pathogen entry, whereas more widespread innate and adaptive immune networks provide first rapid, then long-lasting and targeted responses. However, how we develop such a diverse and complex system remains unknown.
