Craniofacial development : the tissue and molecular interactions that control development of the head /

Show other versions (2)

The molecular cascades that control craniofacial development have until recently been little understood. The paucity of data that exists has in part been due to the complexity of the head, which is a unique, and possibly one of the most intricate regions of the body. However, the generation of mouse...
