Abstract:
The Society for Craniofacial Genetics and Developmental Biology (SCGDB) held its 48th Annual Meeting at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis on September 29-October 1, 2025. On the first day of the meeting, Drs. Timothy Cox and Jennifer Fish were honored with Excellence in Craniofacial Research Awards for their exceptional contributions to the field of craniofacial biology. The following 2 days of the meeting featured five sessions that highlighted new discoveries in human genetics, systems biology of craniofacial development and disease, evolutionary connections, signaling mechanisms, and a special session on clinical and patient perspectives. The meeting also featured workshops on scientific writing and the role of artificial intelligence in advancing research and care. A poster session facilitated dynamic and insightful interactions among the 113 attendees, who represented diverse career stages and research backgrounds in developmental biology and genetics, further 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...
01:14Cranial 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,...
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...
