We present a female child with phenotypical and clinical features of the axial mesodermal dysplasia complex. Typical manifestations of both the Goldenhar syndrome and the caudal regression syndrome are present in this complex. Only a few reports have described patients with this pattern of malformations localized in both the cranial and caudal regions. Our case represents a mild form of the complex and may contribute to a better delineation of this condition.

Sonic Hedgehog (Shh), encoding an extracellular signaling molecule, is vital for heart development. Shh null mutants show congenital heart disease due to left-right asymmetry defects stemming from functional anomaly in the midline structure in mice. Shh signaling is also known to affect cardiomyocyte differentiation, endocardium development, and heart morphogenesis, particularly in second heart field (SHF) cardiac progenitor cells that contribute to the right ventricle, outflow tract, and parts of the atrium.

During embryogenesis, vertebral axial patterning is intricately regulated by multiple signaling networks. This study elucidates the role of protogenin (Prtg), an immunoglobulin superfamily member, in vertebral patterning control. Prtg knockout (Prtg) mice manifest anterior homeotic transformations in their vertebral columns and significant alterations in homeobox (Hox) gene expression.

Purpose: Chordomas are malignant tumors of the axial spine and skull base, and they are notorious for their poor treatment response. Differentiating these tumors from comparatively less malignant chondrosarcomas is crucial for treatment and prognostication. Both tumor types differ in their developmental origin.

Early embryonic development is a complex process where undifferentiated cells lose their pluripotency and start to gastrulate. During gastrulation, three germ layers form, giving rise to different cell lineages and organs. This process is regulated by transcription factors and epigenetic regulators, including non-canonical polycomb repressive complex 1s (ncPRC1s).

Article Synopsis
- The processes of primary and secondary neurulation, which lead to spinal cord formation, are not fully understood in humans due to difficulties accessing embryos at the relevant stages (3-7 weeks post-conception).
- Analysis of 108 human embryos reveals that while primary neurulation is similar to that in mice, it has distinct differences; secondary neurulation begins later and forms a single lumen, unlike the multiple lumens seen in chicks.
- Key differences in neurulation timing between humans and mice were noted, such as the rate of somite formation and the termination of axial elongation associated with apoptosis in the embryonic tailbud; these findings can aid current research on neurulation using stem cell-derived organoids
