A protein（FOXI3） in skin cells builds the right environment for facial structures to form. Mutations disrupt this environment, causing birth defects. This reveals why craniofacial disorders occur and suggests new treatment.😀

Last couple spots remaining for the Craniofacial GRC in sunny CA! Looks to be a full house, with a great set of up-and-coming #craniofacial biologists spanning evo/devo, genetics, multiomics all the way to stem cells, engineering and repair. @brugmannlab.bsky.social www.grc.org/craniofacial...
Promotional graphic for a January 12 episode of the Disability Daily Podcast featuring Andy Pleasants. The poster includes the podcast logo, a colorful geometric background, and a portrait photo of Pleasants standing outdoors, wearing glasses and a patterned shirt, with a visible tracheostomy tube at his throat. Text identifies him as a Deaf and craniofacial difference advocate.
Today on the #Disability Daily #Podcast we celebrate #Deaf & craniofacial difference advocate Andy Pleasants!

In their paper, Sarah Gerstner, Hanna Berger-Santangelo, Silke Pauli, Annette Borchers & co used the #Xenopus model to study a rare syndrome with #Craniofacial malformations caused by truncating variants in fibrosin-like 1, which they identified in 2020.

We’re excited to attend the @Facialartists #ASMS Pediatric #Maxillofacial Course @MountSinaiNYC this weekend! Looking forward to connecting with clinicians & researchers and sharing how #3dMD’s dynamic-3D/4D #imaging solutions support surgical planning and outcomes- #Craniofacial
Think about craniofacial biology in sunny California😎! Don't forget to submit an abstract for the 2026 GRC Craniofacial. Many talk slots available from abstract selections. Deadline for talk abstracts 14 Dec, coming soon.... ☠️🐭🐟🐸🧬 #craniofacial #genetics #neuralcrest www.grc.org/craniofacial...
• There are many different types of craniofacial differences. o The most common, cleft lip and palate, most often occurs by chance and there is not a clear genetic reason to explain why someone has a cleft. o Some craniofacial differences have an underlying genetic cause, and genetic testing can be helpful in understanding if there are any other health concerns associated with a person's craniofacial difference. • If you are interested in understanding why you have a craniofacial difference, a genetics team can discuss why craniofacial differences occur and if genetic testing could be helpful. • If you have personal or family history of craniofacial differences, you can meet with prenatal genetic counselor to discuss the chances of having a child with a craniofacial difference.

• Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are essential in providing assessment and intervention for feeding/dysphagia and speech disorders from infancy through adulthood for individuals with craniofacial differences. • Craniofacial anomalies such as cleft lip/palate, craniosynostosis, and craniofacial microsomia frequently result in feeding difficulties due to structural and functional impairments affecting sucking, swallowing, and airway protection. SLPs collaborate with other specialists to optimize feeding strategies, which may include specialized bottles, positional changes, and, in severe cases, surgical interventions or tube feeding to ensure adequate nutrition and prevent aspiration. • Speech development is also commonly affected in children with craniofacial differences. Structural anomalies can lead to velopharyngeal insufficiency, hypernasality, articulation errors, and delayed language acquisition. SLPs are responsible for early identification, ongoing monitoring, and targeted therapy to address these deficits, working closely with other specialists. UNMC MMI logo and branding.
• The Department of Pediatric Feeding Disorders has an interdisciplinary team to address all aspects of a feeding concern (medical, nutritional, feeding skill, and behavioral health) and provide individualized treatment that fits your child. We only do feeding all day, everyday, which gives us the experience and expertise needed to address the complex needs of individuals with craniofacial differences. • We have a unique 8-week, all-day treatment program to give your child a jump start when they need to learn to eat baby food, drink fluids, and/or learn to chew. • We also have an interdisciplinary outpatient program (one appointment weekly) staffed with all of the healthcare professionals your child needs to learn to eat and drink, including a psychologist, speech-language pathologist, and registered dietitian. We offer joint appointments during which multiple disciplines work with you and your child at the same time to treat your child as effectively and efficiently as possible. UNMC MMI logo and branding.

Geometric design; UNMC MMI logo and branding; text: September is Craniofacial Acceptance Month. The mission of Children's Craniofacial Association is empowering and giving hope to individuals and families affected by facial differences. We envision a world where everyone is accepted for who they are, not how they look.
September is #CraniofacialAcceptanceMonth, promoting acceptance and kindness for those with #craniofacial differences.
The Children's Craniofacial Association hopes you will join them in wearing yellow to celebrate. If you would like to share your related stories, feel free to tag us!
