Smad2/3 is involved in growth inhibition of mouse embryonic palate mesenchymal cells induced by all-trans retinoic acid.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Cleft palate is one of the major malformations induced by retinoic acid in both rodents and humans. The purpose of the present study was to elucidate the mechanism by which all-trans retinoic acid (atRA) induces the cleft palate. ... Read more...

Hemipalatal hypoplasia.

29 Jun 2009 Asymmetric velopharyngeal incompetence (VPI) has a diverse etiology, but those without any underlying cleft, hemifacial microsomia (HFM), or facial asymmetry are rarely encountered. Such cases have been reported within the last few years, with ... Read more...

Denuded congenital lesions: recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa.

13 Apr 2009 Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (Hallopeau-Siemens type) (RDEB-HS) is a rare severe mechanobullous disorder resulting from a defect in collagen VII. Patients with RDEB-HS present with generalized blistering and denudation of the skin at ... Read more...
