Likewise, in spermatogenesis, genes regulating the whole meiotic cycle, chromatin compaction, and flagellum axoneme formation, that are common across Metazoa were overexpressed in the sponges. Finally, molecular signals possibly related to sperm capacitation were identified during late stages of spermatogenesis for the first time in Porifera. In conclusion, the activated molecular toolkit during gametogenesis in sponges was remarkably similar to that deployed during gametogenesis in vertebrates. The accelerated tooth movement phenomenon after orthognathic surgery has been observed. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. There is no experimental study showing the effect of orthognathic surgery on orthodontic tooth movement of the opposing jaw. Therefore, the present study aimed at investigating if mandibular osteotomy enhances maxillary tooth movement and bone remodelling. Fifty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into two groups maxillary tooth movement (TM) and maxillary tooth movement + mandibular surgery (TM + MS). The orthodontic force was delivered to move the left maxillary first molar mesially. The surgical intervention was performed on the left mandible. Microcomputed tomography, histological analysis, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction were used to assess changes at 3, 7, and 21 days after surgery. The mandibular osteotomy accelerates the rate of maxillary tooth movement with decreased bone volume fraction on the seventh day. Bone resorption was observed on the third and seventh day after mandibular osteotomy. It was found that serum interleukin-1β level increased significantly in the TM + MS group compared wi
