In addition to their role in skull growth, sutures are sites of flexibility between the more rigid
bones. Depending on the suture, predominant loading during life may be either tensile or …

It is widely believed that rapid growth of the human brain generates tensile strain in cranial
sutures, and that this strain influences the rate of bone deposition at the sutural margins …

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 …

Craniofacial sutures are soft connective-tissue joints between mineralized skull bones.
Suture mechanobiology refers to the understanding of how mechanical stimuli modulate …

The purpose of this study is to test predicted form–function relationships between cranial
suture complexity and masticatory muscle mass and biomechanics in a mouse model …

Cranial vault and facial sutures interpose between mineralized bones of the skull, and may
function analogously to appendicular and cranial base growth plates. However, unlike …

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 …

Cranial sutures play a critical role in calvarial morphogenesis, serving as growth centers
during skull development. Both biomechanical tensile forces originating in the cranial base …

Introduction Progress in cranial suture research is shaping our current understanding of the
topic; however, emphasis has been placed on individual contributing components rather …

Cranial bones and sutures are mechanically loaded during mastication. Their response to
masticatory strain, however, is largely unknown, especially in the context of age change …
