Phenotypic variation across mammals is extensive and reflects their ecological
diversification into a remarkable range of habitats on every continent and in every ocean …

Structured Abstract Authors–Alaqeel SM, Hinton RJ, Opperman LA Objectives–To provide a
comprehensive review of the literature describing research done on the responses of suture …

Calvarial bones are connected by fibrous sutures. These sutures provide a niche
environment that includes mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), osteoblasts, and osteoclasts …

Skull sutures serve as growth centers whose function involves multiple molecular pathways.
During periods of brain growth the sutures remain thin and straight, later developing …

Morphology of the neurocentral synchondroses—thin cartilaginous layers between centra
and neural arches—are documented in the extant crocodilian, Alligator mississippiensis …

The biomechanical significance of cranial sutures in primates is an open question because
their global impact is unclear, and their material properties are difficult to measure. In this …

Objectives The sagittal suture (SS) is assumed to be an initial site for the commencement of
cranial suture closure as well as the most frequent spot of isolated craniosynostosis. The …

The global biomechanical impact of cranial sutures on the face and cranium during dynamic
conditions is not well understood. It is hypothesized that sutures act as energy absorbers …

Introduction This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of fractal analysis of hand-wrist
radiography in the decision of conventional or surgery-assisted rapid palatal expansion …

Craniosynostosis is one of the most common craniofacial deformities demanding surgical
treatment in infancy. LncRNA HOTAIR has verified its important role in osteogenesis and …
