Inspiring Scientific Curiosity and Discovery
A Quest to Understand Skull Development
The skull houses and protects the brain and is evolutionarily and developmentally comprised of the endoskeleton that develops initially as cartilage and the exoskeleton that grows as dermal bone. Dr. Joan Richtsmeier, Dr. Susan Motch Perrine, and Dr. Kazuhiko Kawasaki use quantitative morphology and molecular and cell biology to study the relationship between ontogenetic mechanisms and phylogenetic change in craniofacial development, evolution, and disease. Their current focus on early development of cranial cartilage and bone and how FGF signaling can impact that relationship, reveals key mechanisms of typical development and of pathogenesis in craniofacial syndromes like Crouzon and Apert.
