The paper presents the results obtained from analysis of the correlation between cranial
dimensions (length, width, and height) and indices against the complexity of the sagittal …

The hardest anatomical components of many animals are connected at thin seams known
as sutures, which allow for growth and compliance required for respiration and movement …

Due to their flexibility, sutures are regions that experience greater strains than the
surrounding rigid cranial bones. Cranial sutures differ in their degree of interdigitation or …

This study examined the mechanical properties of the adult sagittal suture compared with
surrounding parietal bones using bending tests and investigated the association between …

Cranial sutures are fibrous connective tissue articulations found between intramembranous
bones of the vertebrate cranium. Growth and remodeling of these tissues is partially …

The purpose of this study was to develop a three-dimensional finite element model of the
craniofacial skeleton using a dry human skull. The model consisted of 2918 nodes and 1776 …

Myriad natural protective structures consist of bone plates joined by convoluted
unmineralized (soft) collagenous sutures. Examples of such protective structures include …

Characterizing the suture morphological variation is a crucial step to investigate the
influence of sutures on infant head biomechanics. This study aimed to establish a …

Aim and scope The developmental genetics and the biomechanics of sutures are well-
studied topics, while their microanatomy is still imperfectly known. Here, we aim to …

Sutures, the soft collagenous tissue joining interdigitating bony protrusions on the edges of
bone plates, play a significant mechanical role in allowing a turtle shell to respond optimally …
