What Are the Implications of Abnormal Morphogenesis?
Abnormal morphogenesis can lead to various developmental disorders and diseases, including: - Congenital malformations: Structural abnormalities present at birth, such as heart defects and cleft palate. - Cancer: Uncontrolled cell growth and abnormal tissue organization. - Fibrosis: Excessive ECM deposition leading to tissue scarring and impaired function.
