Mesenchymal remodeling during palatal shelf elevation revealed by extracellular matrix and F-actin expression patterns

During formation of the secondary palate in mammalian embryos, two vertically oriented palatal shelves rapidly elevate into a horizontal position above the tongue, meet at the midline, and fuse to form a single entity. Previous observations suggested that elevation occurs by a simple 90° rotation of...
