Spatial Multi-omics Reveals the Role of the Wnt Modulator, Dkk2, in Palatogenesis’

Multiple genetic and environmental etiologies contribute to the pathogenesis of cleft palate, which is the most common of the inherited disorders of the craniofacial complex. Insights into the molecular mechanisms regulating osteogenic differentiation and patterning in the palate during embryogenesis are limited and needed for the development of innovative diagnostics and cures. This study used the
