| Research Abstract |
The results using mutant mice with deficiency of the 3^<rd> molars suggest that normal occlusal activity is essential for synaptogenesis in the masseter muscle. The results using wild type mice suggest that miRNA-1 regulates the expression of myosin heavy chains in the masseter muscle.
