Abstract
It has been suggested that bone repair following craniofacial injury could be supported by a stem cell niche in the sutures. A new paper in Development identifies a key role for neural crest-derived progenitors in skull repair and suggests that injuries close to the sutures heal more efficiently, possibly due to better access to these progenitors. To learn more about the story behind the paper, we caught up with first author, Daniel Doro, and corresponding authors Sachiko Iseki, Professor at Tokyo Medical and Dental University, Japan, and Karen J. Liu, Professor of Genetics and Development at King's College London, UK.
