Abstract:
The Society for Craniofacial Genetics and Developmental Biology (SCGDB) held its 45th Annual Meeting at the Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine at the University of California, San Diego on October 20th-21st, 2022. The meeting included presentation of the SCGDB Distinguished Scientists in Craniofacial Research Awards to Drs. Ralph Marcucio and Loydie Jerome-Majewska and four scientific sessions that highlighted new discoveries in signaling in craniofacial development, genomics of craniofacial development, human genetics of craniofacial development and translational and regenerative approaches in craniofacial biology. The meeting also included workshops on analysis of single cell RNA sequencing datasets and using human sequencing data from the Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Research Program. There were 110 faculty and trainees in attendance that represent a diverse group of researchers from all career stages in the fields of developmental biology and genetics. The meeting, which also included outdoor poster presentations, provided opportunities for participant interactions and discussions, thus strengthening the SCGDB community.

01:22Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
01:14Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
