Article Abstract
Two widely used en bloc resection techniques for external auditory canal malignancies are lateral temporal bone resection (LTBR) and subtotal temporal bone resection (STBR). STBR is a surgical procedure that requires a skull base team, whereas LTBR is a widely practiced procedure worldwide that can be completed as an otological procedure. In LTBR, the external auditory canal is removed en bloc with basic otological techniques, including mastoidectomy and extended posterior tympanotomy. However, detailed descriptions of the osteotomy technique for the anterior deep portion of the external auditory canal are scarce. The authors examined the most challenging site for separation in LTBR using 11 cadaveric specimens. The average 3.8 mm length of bone just anteroinferior to the tympanic membrane tends to be left disconnected. Thus, it is necessary to appropriately separate this area according to its anatomic variations to achieve a complete en bloc resection with negative margins.

Postnatal interaction of size and shape in the human endocranium and brain structures.

The uniqueness of human brain growth and development has been considered promising for its contribution to understanding the origins of the unique human cognitive abilities. Compared with that of chimpanzees, the human endocranium undergoes several characteristic shape changes immediately after birth, which has been termed "endocranial globularization." However, how the brain structures and surrounding neurocranium interact with each other during early development in the context of brain-neurocranium integration remains to be investigated.

Lineage specification requires accurate interpretation of multiple signaling cues. However, how combinatorial signaling histories influence fate outcomes remains unclear. We combined single-cell transcriptomics, live-cell imaging, and mathematical modeling to explore how activin and bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) guide fate specification during human gastrulation.

Foramina in the orbit are well described in the literature. But the author of the present study observed an unusual foramen in the frontal process of the zygomatic bone, not reported so far, as far as the author knows. This foramen was observed in 2 skulls, in one skull bilaterally and in another skull unilaterally on the left side.

Distraction osteogenesis (DO) is an endogenous bone tissue engineering technique that harnesses the regenerative potential of bone and has been widely applied in limb lengthening, bone defect repair, and craniofacial reconstruction. The DO procedure consists of three distinct phases: the latency phase, the distraction phase, and the consolidation phase, each characterized by unique biological processes. In recent years, increasing attention has been directed toward the role of the immune system during DO.
