What role does histology play in understanding craniofacial anomalies?
Histological analysis allows researchers to examine the cellular and tissue structure of developing craniofacial regions. This can help identify abnormalities in cell migration, differentiation, and tissue organization that may lead to congenital anomalies such as cleft lip and palate, craniosynostosis, and micrognathia. By studying these anomalies at the microscopic level, researchers can gain insights into their underlying causes and potential therapeutic targets.
