Abstract:

Meckel’s cartilage which is derived from the first branchial arch plays an important role during the development and growth of the mandible and also the morphology of malleus and incus. As a supporting bar for the mandibular early development, the intermediate region of Meckel’s cartilage gradually degenerated after birth. This paper aimed to review the molecular mechanisms of the degeneration of Meckel’s cartilage.

Key words: Meckel&rsquo, s cartilage； degeneration； molecular mechanisms
