A recent study led by Dr. Shannon Carroll, titled Neural crest and periderm-specific requirements of Irf6 during neural tube and craniofacial development, has been published in Developmental Biology! Focusing on Irf6, a key genetic determinant of cleft lip and palate, this study describes the generation and characterization of a new Irf6 mouse model, along with analysis of Irf6 ablation in periderm and neural crest cell lineages. The generation of this conditional Irf6 allele enables new insights into craniofacial development and new exploration into the post-natal role of Irf6. Center members Dr. Sogand Schafer also contributed as co-author and Dr. Eric Liao as senior corresponding author.
Congratulations to Dr. Carroll and team!
