Jaw Development: Chinless Wonders
نویسنده
چکیده
It has been suggested that the regionally restricted expression of Dlx genes acts to pattern the proximodistal axis of the pharyngeal arches during vertebrate development. Recently, clear evidence of this has emerged from Dlx-5; Dlx-6 double mutants, in which the lower jaw is transformed to an upper jaw.

The chinless mutation and neural crest cell interactions in zebrafish jaw development.
During vertebrate development, neural crest cells are thought to pattern many aspects of head organization, including the segmented skeleton and musculature of the jaw and gills. Here we describe mutations at the gene chinless, chn, that disrupt the skeletal fates of neural crest cells in the head of the zebrafish and their interactions with muscle precursors. chn mutants lack neural-crest-deri...
متن کاملAn analysis of rhetorical beauties in the interpretation of verses on embryology
The Holy Quran in various verses has explained stages of human development in embryonic period. The Quran describes these stages to prove the possibility of human resurrection after death. The present study seeks to substantiate this point that these verses, which contain scientific hints and wonders, have also rhetorical and phonetic beauty. The literary and scientific interpretation of the ve...
متن کاملPattern and polarity in the development and evolution of the gnathostome jaw: both conservation and heterotopy in the branchial arches of the shark, Scyliorhinus canicula.
The acquisition of jaws constitutes a landmark event in vertebrate evolution, one that in large part potentiated their success and diversification. Jaw development and patterning involves an intricate spatiotemporal series of reciprocal inductive and responsive interactions between the cephalic epithelia and the cranial neural crest (CNC) and cephalic mesodermal mesenchyme. The coordinated regu...
متن کاملThe development of jaw motion for mastication.
The developmental course of early chewing has rarely been studied, although such knowledge is essential for understanding childhood feeding and swallowing disorders. The goal of this investigation was to quantitatively describe age- and consistency-related changes in jaw kinematics during early chewing development. An optical-motion tracking system was used to record jaw movements during chewin...
متن کاملDlx genes pattern mammalian jaw primordium by regulating both lower jaw-specific and upper jaw-specific genetic programs.
Dlx transcription factors are implicated in patterning the mammalian jaw, based on their nested expression patterns in the first branchial arch (primordium for jaw) and mutant phenotypes; inactivation of Dlx1 and Dlx2 (Dlx1/2-/-) causes defects in the upper jaw, whereas Dlx5/6(-/-) results in homeotic transformation of the lower jaw into upper jaw. Therefore, the 'Dlx codes' appear to regionali...
