Palate development involves various events, including proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Disruption of these processes can result in the cleft palate (CP). Mouse embryonic palatal mesenchyme (MEPM) cells are commonly used to explore the mechanism of palatal development and CP. However, the role of the microenvironment in the biological properties of MEPM cells, which undergoes dynamic changes during palate development, is rarely reported. In this study, we investigated whether there were differences between the palatal shelf mesenchyme at different developmental stages...
