Adult human subcutaneous adipose tissue contains cells with intriguing multilineage
developmental plasticity, much like marrow‐derived mesenchymal stem cells. Putative stem or …

Until recently, the biology of adipose tissue has been primarily the purview of biochemists
and endocrinologists. The reasons for this are apparent from the traditional functions that fat …

Background: The authors present an outcomes analysis of mandibular distraction osteogenesis
versus tongue-lip adhesion in the surgical treatment of Pierre Robin sequence. Methods: …

BACKGROUND: Patients with cleft lip and/or palate can undergo numerous procedures to
improve appearance, speech, dentition and hearing. We developed a cleft-specific patient-…

Peripheral nerve transection occurs commonly in traumatic injury, causing deficits distal to
the injury site. Conduits for repair currently on the market are hollow tubes; however, they …

Bony craniofacial deficits resulting from injury, disease, or birth defects remain a considerable
clinical challenge. In this study, microsphere‐based scaffold fabrication methods were use …

Objectives/Hypothesis: Advances in bone repair have focused on the minimally‐invasive
delivery of tissue‐engineered bone (TEB). A promising injectable biopolymer of chitosan and …

The cranial sutures are the primary sites of bone formation during skull growth. Morphogenesis
and phenotypic maintenance of the cranial sutures are regulated by tissue interactions, …

Background: The authors report the cause of and risk factors for mortality in infants with Robin
sequence and identify characteristics associated with quality-of-life outcomes. Methods: …

Acellular dermal matrices are used in a variety of reconstructive and cosmetic procedures.
There seems to be host tissue integration, revascularization, and recellularization into these …
