Previous computational and experimental analyses revealed that cranial sutures, fibrous
joints between the bones, can reduce the strain experienced by the surrounding skull bones …

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 …

Objective: To evaluate the complexity of human sagittal suture patterns and to investigate
whether the suture complexity correlates with age. Design: Geometric patterns of the sagittal …

Materials and Methods Calvarial coupons from postnatal day 21, B6CBA wild-type mice (n=
24) were harvested and cultured. A custom appliance capable of delivering compressive …

The neonate skull consists of several bony plates, connected by fibrous soft tissue called
sutures. Premature fusion of sutures is a medical condition known as craniosynostosis …

Purpose We performed a retrospective qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the sutural
changes during the physiological growth to define the age-related ossification stages of …

Craniosynostosis is a bone developmental disease where premature ossification of the
cranial sutures occurs leading to fused sutures. While biomechanical forces have been …

Craniosynostosis describes the premature pathologic partial or complete fusion of 1 or more
of the cranial sutures. Over the past few decades, research on craniosynostosis has …

Featured Application This review outlines the extant techniques and innovative
biotechnologies to implement the surgical treatment of craniosynostosis and related …

Facial sutures contribute significantly to postnatal facial development, but their potential role
in craniofacial disease is understudied. Since interest in their development and physiology …
