Craniofacial Disorders and Treatments

This cluster of papers focuses on the genetics, development, and management of craniofacial abnormalities such as craniosynostosis, Treacher Collins syndrome, and positional plagiocephaly. It explores topics such as neural crest cell formation, FGF signaling, skull vault growth, genetic mutations associated with craniofacial disorders, suture development, and the use of distraction osteogenesis for treatment.
