Objective Differences in complexity of cranial suture forms on the endocranial (ie, deep) and
ectocranial (ie, superficial) skull surfaces have been noted in the literature, indicating …

Cranial sutures are complex soft tissue structures whose mechanics are often studied due to
their link with bone growth in the skull. Researchers will often use a cross-sectional two …

Sutures are greatly involved in both normal craniofacial growth and developmental
anomalies. Having clear parameters for defining their morphology is fundamental to properly …

Background: Histology remains the standard form to analyze cranial suture in murine
models, but this technique provides only limited “snapshots” of the entire suture and requires …

Cranial sutures play critical roles in facilitating postnatal skull development and function. The
diversity of function is reflected in the highly variable suture morphology and complexity …

Cranial sutures are a network of vasculature, extracellular matrix, and fibers that join the
bones in the skull of most vertebrates. Not only do sutures play an important mechanical role …

The anatomy and development of cranial and facial sutures have been studied in detail
using histological sections, 2D radiographs and more recently CT imaging. However, little …

This study investigates the role of bone resorption in defining interdigitations characteristic of
cranial suture waveform. Male mice from the CD‐1 (ICR) background were analyzed at six …

INTRODUCTION: During the early development, numerous histological and morphometric
changes occur in the cranial sutures the exact knowledge of which is of fundamental …

Background Cranial sutures are active bone growth sites and any alteration in their normal
formation, patency and closure influences the overall cranial morphology. This comparative …
