Temporo-mandibular joint Special Issue: The unique developmental history of the TMJ and the complex etiology of TMDs necessitates the use of multiple model systems and therapeutic approaches. The present Special Issue seeks to characterise some of these model systems, uncover the molecular mechanisms contributing the TMDs as well as identify and examine therapeutic approaches to offset the deleterious effects of TMJ disease.
Submission deadline: 31st of October 2022
