Tgfbr2 is required for development of the skull vault.

19 Aug 2009 Transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) is known to play important roles in multiple developmental processes. One of the main functions is in skeletal development. Our previous studies demonstrated that loss of Tgfbr2 in Prx1Cre-expressing limb ... Read more...

Pfeiffer syndrome twins: despite improved correction in one twin, growth disturbance results in similar need for subsequent monobloc advancement.

29 Apr 2009 BACKGROUND: Twins with Pfeiffer syndrome (or acrocephalosyndactyly) had a similar phenotypic appearance with findings of classic or type 1 Pfeiffer syndrome, including bicoronal and sagittal craniosynostoses, midface hypoplasia, and broad ... Read more...

On the origin of bitemporal hollowing.

29 Apr 2009 INTRODUCTION: Long-term results after cranioplasty for trigonocephaly often show bitemporal hollowing and a residual hypotelorism. Both findings fuel the perception that the growth of the periorbital region and the forehead as a whole continues to ... Read more...
