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 …

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 …

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

Sutures are fibrous connective tissue articulations between intramembranous craniofacial
bones. Sutures are composed of fibroblastic cells with their matrices in the center and …

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 …

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 …

Sutures are fibrous joints between craniofacial bones, providing an interesting model for
studying the biomechanics of the interface between soft and mineralized tissues. To explore …

Mechanical tension is widely applied on the suture to modulate the growth of craniofacial
bones. Deeply understanding the features of bone formation in expanding sutures could …

Sutures are soft connective tissue articulations between craniofacial bones. Suture
mechanics deals with patterns of mechanical stress experienced in sutures resulting from …
