Ameloblastin Inhibits Cranial Suture Closure by Modulating Msx2 Expression and Proliferation

Deformities of cranial sutures such as craniosynostosis and enlarged parietal foramina greatly impact human development and quality of life. Here we have examined the role of the extracellular matrix protein ameloblastin (Ambn), a recent addition to the family of non-collagenous extracellular bone m...
