The etiology of cleft palate formation in BMP7-deficient mice.

Palatogenesis is a complex process implying growth, elevation and fusion of the two lateral palatal shelves during embryogenesis. This process is tightly controlled by genetic and mechanistic cues that also coordinate the growth of other orofacial structures. Failure at any of these steps can result...

description Palatogenesis is a complex process implying growth, elevation and fusion of the two lateral palatal shelves during embryogenesis.
