This study aims to evaluate the position, morphometric, and morphological features of the
temporozygomatic suture (TZS) located on the zygomatic arch (ZA) in dry adult human …

Cranial sutures are fibrous joints of the skull which allow for growth in young individuals. The
sutural ligament is the fibrous connective material found between the two joint surfaces …

Bones in the skull are connected by craniofacial sutures, which are joints made of collagen
fibers, vasculature, and an extracellular matrix. Sutures are straight and flexible at an …

Introduction e purpose of this chapter is to quantify cranial suture complexity and to develop
an objective metric method for assessing race (ancestry) and sex. e secondary goals are to …

Recent research suggests that diversity in craniofacial morphology is produced by a
complex interaction of environmental variables including (1) muscle function,(2) genetic …

Objectives Craniosynostosis affects 1 in 2000 to 3000 live births and may result in
craniofacial and neural growth disturbances. Histological data have shown that thick …

Since the sequencing of the Neanderthal genome in 2010, there has been an explosion of
molecular research into hybridization and gene flow among hominin taxa in the Late …

Cranial sutures are a network of vasculature, extracellular matrix, and fibers that join the
bones in the skull of most vertebrates. Not only do sutures play an important mechanical role …

Aim To investigate the expression profile of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in closed and
patent sutures from single suture craniosynostosis patients and explore their underlying …

The mechanical behaviour of the craniomaxillofacial skeleton (CMFS) under physiological
loads is among the least understood in the field of musculoskeletal biomechanics. The …
