Biomechanical strain patterns in Meckel's cartilage underlie mandibular variation in FGFR2 mouse models

Abstract Sequence variations in fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) are associated with craniosynostosis syndromes, disrupting craniofacial development, yet early mandibular alterations remain poorly characterized. This study examined Meckel's cartilage (MC) and mandibula...
