Postnatal Craniofacial Skeletal Development of Female C57BL/6NCrl Mice
The craniofacial skeleton is a complex and unique structure. The perturbation of its development can lead to craniofacial dysmorphology and associated morbidities. Our ability to prevent or mitigate craniofacial skeletal anomalies is at least partly dependent on our understanding of the unique physiological development of the craniofacial skeleton. Mouse models are critical tools for the study ...
متن کاملEllis Van Creveld2 is Required for Postnatal Craniofacial Bone Development.
Ellis-van Creveld (EvC) syndrome is a genetic disorder with mutations in either EVC or EVC2 gene. Previous case studies reported that EvC patients underwent orthodontic treatment, suggesting the presence of craniofacial bone phenotypes. To investigate whether a mutation in EVC2 gene causes a craniofacial bone phenotype, Evc2 knockout (KO) mice were generated and cephalometric analysis was perfo...
متن کاملEffects of postnatal litter size on reproduction of female mice.
A group of 98 dams weaned 588 female mice to be mated and allowed to reproduce. These females were assigned at birth to be reared in a litter of eight or 14 mice. Such litters were intended to represent postnatal environments equivalent to small and large litters. However, average litter size was approximately 15 mice in this line and comparisons were more correctly those between small and aver...
متن کاملCanonical and noncanonical intraflagellar transport regulates craniofacial skeletal development.
The primary cilium is a cellular organelle that coordinates signaling pathways critical for cell proliferation, differentiation, survival, and homeostasis. Intraflagellar transport (IFT) plays a pivotal role in assembling primary cilia. Disruption and/or dysfunction of IFT components can cause multiple diseases, including skeletal dysplasia. However, the mechanism by which IFT regulates skeleto...
متن کاملAlterations in thin filament length during postnatal skeletal muscle development and aging in mice
The lengths of the sarcomeric thin filaments vary in a skeletal muscle-specific manner and help specify the physiological properties of skeletal muscle. Since the extent of overlap between the thin and thick filaments determines the amount of contractile force that a sarcomere can actively produce, thin filament lengths are accurate predictors of muscle-specific sarcomere length-tension relatio...
