Determination of the role and regulation of matrix metalloproteinase-25 during mouse secondary palate formation
Development of the secondary palate (SP) is a complex event despite the small area it encompasses. Problems with SP development can lead to a cleft palate, which is one of the most common birth disorders. The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are required for proper SP development, but a functional …

Three-dimensional assessment of facial morphology in infants with cleft lip and palate
… and body growth. The presence of a cleft of the secondary palate accentuated the amount of soft tissue disruption by the cleft in the lip and nose, but not the pattern of disruption. Primary lip / nose repair had no detrimental effect on the early growth and development of the facial features. …

The Role of MicroRNAs in Craniofacial Development
Cleft palate and orofacial clefts are common congenital anomalies whose etiology results from deficient fusion of the bilateral processes of the first pharyngeal arch and/or the frontonasal process. Craniofacial clefting can result from genetic and teratogenic disruptions affecting the growth and …

Genetic Pathway Analysis of Abnormal Facial Development In Nonsyndromic Cleft Lip and Palate
<p>Nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCLP) is the most common craniofacial birth defect resulting from incomplete fusion of the facial prominences during development, which leaves a gap in the lip, primary palate and/or the secondary palate. NSCLP affects 135,000 NSCLP newborns …
