The first and second branchial arches are embryonic primordium that contributes to craniofacial development. Interferences in normal development of these structures result in variable maxillary ...

Mutant embryos lack the stapes, styloid process and lesser horn of the hyoid bone, which are neural-crest-derived structures in the second branchial arch. Hence, the second arch is reduced to a ...

One of the endocrinologists I work with, John Palmer DO, recently saw a patient with a left-sided thyroid cyst. She had had a thyroid ultrasound at an outlying hospital and then another one done ...

In vitro induction of patterned branchial arch-like aggregate from human pluripotent stem cells. Nature Communications , 2024; 15 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-45285-0 Cite This Page : ...

The study, published this week in Development, demonstrates striking similarities in the genetic mechanism used to pattern gill-arch appendages (called branchial rays) and fins/limbs. Studying embryos ...
