... their diagnostic function, as well as their potential ability to correct craniofacial diseases. Mature microRNAs (miRs) are about 22-nucleotide-long non-coding RNAs that are generally known to regulate developmental processes in various species [ 1 ]. They are processed from stem–loop structures located...

... but a noticeable reduction in mandibular bone. Osx::cre deletion, which acts later in the osteoblast lineage, also leads to a smaller mandible consistent with a role for cilia in the craniofacial bone lineage. Here, we focus on the development of micrognathia in the ciliopathy orofaciodigital syndrome...
