Tissue origins and interactions in the mammalian skull vault.
TL;DR: Detailed analysis of neural crest migration pathways using X-gal staining, and mesodermal tracing by DiI labelling, shows that the neural crest-mesodermal tissue juxtaposition that later forms the coronal suture is established at E9.5 as the caudal boundary of the frontonasal mesenchyme.

Cyclic dermal BMP signalling regulates stem cell activation during hair regeneration
Maksim V. Plikus,Julie Ann Mayer,Damon de la Cruz,Ruth E. Baker,Philip K. Maini,Robert E. Maxson,Cheng-Ming Chuong +6 more
TL;DR: Results show that BMPs may be the long-sought ‘chalone’ inhibitors of hair growth postulated by classical experiments, and provide an example of hierarchical regulation of local organ stem cell homeostasis by the inter-organ macroenvironment.
Germline Competent Embryonic Stem Cells Derived from Rat Blastocysts
Ping Li,Chang Tong,Ruty Mehrian-Shai,Li Jia,Nancy Wu,Youzhen Yan,Robert E. Maxson,Eric N. Schulze,Houyan Song,Chih-Lin Hsieh,Martin F. Pera,Qi-Long Ying +11 more
TL;DR: It is shown that rat ES cells can be efficiently derived, propagated, and genetically manipulated in the presence of small molecules that specifically inhibit GSK3, MEK, and FGF receptor tyrosine kinases.

Recent advances in craniofacial morphogenesis.
Yang Chai,Robert E. Maxson +1 more
TL;DR: Recent advances in understanding of evo–devo as it relates to craniofacial morphogenesis, fate determination of cranial neural crest cells, and specific signaling pathways in regulating tissue–tissue interactions during patterning of cranioFacial apparatus and the morphogenesis of tooth, mandible, and palate are highlighted.

Integration of FGF and TWIST in calvarial bone and suture development.
David P. Rice,Thomas Åberg,Yan-Shun Chan,Zequn Tang,Päivi Kettunen,Leila Pakarinen,Robert E. Maxson,Irma Thesleff +7 more
TL;DR: A model of osteoblast differentiation integrating Twist and FGF in the same pathway, in which FGF acts both at early and late stages is proposed, which may lead to craniosynostosis.
