  1. Craniofacial osteomas were most often found in the frontal bone
    Study establishes diagnostic and treatment protocols for craniofacial osteomas in 141 patients, showing frontal bone predominance, female predominance, and no recurrences with surgical management.
  2. Pediatric maxillary mesenchymal chondrosarcoma with HEY1::NCOA2 fusion
    Case report of mesenchymal chondrosarcoma in a 13-year-old with HEY1::NCOA2 fusion treated with multimodal therapy including sirolimus targeting mTOR pathway.
  3. Craniofacial fibrous dysplasia osteoblasts show altered bone homeostasis
    Study characterizes osteoblasts from craniofacial fibrous dysplasia, revealing elevated cAMP, impaired mineralization, and suppressed osteoclastogenesis contributing to abnormal bone homeostasis.
