Despite great advances in clinical imaging of the human body, clinical determination of
consistent surface landmarks for surgical approaches to the cranial cavity is still essential …

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 …

The processes of sutures and synchondroses formation, interdigitation and closure set the
normal skull growth. Sutures and synchondroses represent growth sites in normal skull …

Craniofacial sutures are a ubiquitous feature of the vertebrate skull. Previous experimental
work has shown that bone strain magnitudes and orientations often vary when moving from …

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 …

The sutures of the skull are fibrous joints which accommodate for skull growth throughout
development. Complex and coordinated cellular processes regulate their fusion over time …

Wound healing can be delayed if the biomechanical stability of the wound closure is
inadequate. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate different suturing techniques for their …

This study presents comparisons of the ultrastructure of synostotic and open portions of
synostotic sagittal sutures using histomorphometry, scanning electron microscopy, and …

Cranial sutures are unique to skull bones and consist of multiple connective tissue cell
lineages such as mesenchymal cells, fibroblast-like cells, and osteogenic cells, in addition to …

Objective: To investigate the degree of fusion (patency) among cranial sutures in human dry
skulls in the Anatolia. Methods: One-hundred fifty-eight human dry skulls that were accepted …
