Lima JR; Ungvijanpunya N; Chen Q; Pham HQH; Rosen T; Park G; Vantankhah M; Yen S; Chai Y; Merrill AE; Liu Z; Chen JF; Yang Y; Peng W; Xu J

Researchers studied how certain parts of cells called splicing factors work in cranial neural crest cells (CNCCs) which help form the face bones. They found that a protein called PRMT1 is important for these splicing factors to work properly. When PRMT1 is missing, it changes how the genes are put together, affecting the growth of face structures.
