What is it about?
the present study is focused on Fgf4 gene expression and tooth morphogenesis during pre- and postnatal development in three species of rodents; Calomyscus elburzensis (Calomyscidae), Mesocricetus auratus (Cricetidae) and Mus musculus (Muridae)

Why is it important?
By expanding our knowledge regarding the gene roles in tooth morphogenesis we could have the opportunity to compare different tooth cusps patterns and tooth crown morphology between variety of rodents.
Perspectives
Writing this article was a great pleasure as i could have collaboration with Dr. Kilpatrick and I have the opportunity to learn more about rodent biology and ecology. We hope to could complete our findings on Fgf4 expression pattern and also other developmental regulatory genes in Calomyscus species and also other rodents.
