Our research goes beyond the mouth. Understanding how the entire head and face forms, we can repair damage, regenerate cells and unravel the causes of diseases. We are part of the Faculty of Dentistry, Oral & Craniofacial Sciences at King's College London

Secondary cartilage in the murine medial pterygoid plate has a critical role in the pathfinding of the tensor veli palatini
The development of the medial pterygoid plate (MPP) is followed in mouse embryos, highlighting its neural crest origin and complex development via both endochondral and membranous ossification. Using...

New paper from the Tucker lab at @ccrb27.bsky.social published in @dev-journal.bsky.social ! Analysis of Eya1 and Tbx1 mutants highlights interactions between the muscle and developing cartilage during external ear formation. Link: doi.org/10.1242/dev.... (1/4)
Immunofluorescence image of the forming mouse pinna at E14.5. 12-101 (muscle marker) is in red, Sox9 (cartilage and Schwann cell precursor marker) is in green and DAPI nuclear stain is in blue. Note the close proximity of the muscle and pinna cartilage cells.

Dynamic changes in chromatin accessibility during cell fate specification at the neural plate border
During development, dynamic changes in gene expression and chromatin architecture drive the transition from progenitors to specialised cell types. Here we use single cell ATAC sequencing (scATAC-seq) ...

CCRB paper alert! Most snakes can open their mouths so wide they can consume food that is much larger than their own head. This is partly due to their ‘free’ mandibular symphysis, found to be both bone and cartilage-free. So, how ‘free’ is that symphyseal gap? (1/3)
