Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can differentiate into several lineages during development
and also contribute to tissue homeostasis and regeneration, although the requirements for …

The tongue is a complex multifunctional organ that interacts and senses both interoceptively
and exteroceptively. Although it is easily visible to almost all of us, it is relatively …

Myoblast fusion is a critical process that contributes to the growth of muscle during
development and to the regeneration of myofibers upon injury. Myoblasts fuse with each …

The tongue and mandible have common origins. They arise simultaneously from the
mandibular arch and are coordinated in their development and growth, which is evident from …

Directional cell migration is a critical process underlying morphogenesis and post‐natal
tissue regeneration. During embryonic myogenesis, migration of skeletal myogenic …

Cranial neural crest (CNC) cells contribute to different cell types during embryonic
development. It is unknown whether postmigratory CNC cells undergo dynamic cellular …

Volumetric muscle loss (VML) injuries exceed the considerable intrinsic regenerative
capacity of skeletal muscle, resulting in permanent functional and cosmetic deficits. VML and …

Cranial neural crest (CNC) cells give rise to bone, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments of the
vertebrate craniofacial musculoskeletal complex, as well as regulate mesoderm-derived …

Orofacial clefting is the most common congenital craniofacial malformation, appearing in
approximately 1 in 700 live births. Orofacial clefting includes several distinct anatomic …

High-intensity eccentric muscle contraction induces muscle damage. Damaged muscles
recover through different processes, including degeneration, inflammation, regeneration …
