Cranial sutures are complex soft tissue structures whose mechanics are often studied due to
their link with bone growth in the skull. Researchers will often use a cross-sectional two …

To investigate how cranial suture morphology and the arrangement of sutural collagen fibres
respond to compressive and tensile loads, an idealised bone–suture–bone complex was …

Cranial sutures are fibrocellular joints between the skull bones that are progressively
replaced with bone throughout ontogeny, facilitating growth and cranial shape change. This …

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 …

Previous computational and experimental analyses revealed that cranial sutures, fibrous
joints between the bones, can reduce the strain experienced by the surrounding skull bones …

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 …

Objective Differences in complexity of cranial suture forms on the endocranial (ie, deep) and
ectocranial (ie, superficial) skull surfaces have been noted in the literature, indicating …

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 …

Characterizing the biomechanical behavior of sutures in the human craniofacial skeleton
(CFS) is essential to understand the global impact of these articulations on load …

Biomechanical studies of the craniofacial sutures can be classified in three groups: to
understand (1) the inherent mechanical properties of the sutures;(2) the role and function of …
