梅克尔软骨消亡的分子机制研究进展

Research progress on the molecular mechanisms for the degeneration of Meckel's cartilage

梅克尔软骨来源于第一鳃弓,在下颌骨的生长发育、锤骨和砧骨的形成中起重要作用。作为下颌骨早期发育的支架,梅克尔软骨在出生之后逐渐消亡。本文就梅克尔软骨消亡的分子机制作一综述。

Meckel＇s cartilage which is derived from the first branchial arch plays an important role during the development and growth of the mandible and also the morphology of malleus and incus.As a supporting bar for the mandibular early development,the intermediate region of Meckel＇s cartilage gradually degenerated after birth.This paper aimed to review the molecular mechanisms of the degeneration of Meckel＇s cartilage.
