The Morphogenesis of Cranial Sutures in Zebrafish. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Using morphological, histological, and TEM analyses of the cranium, we provide a detailed description of bone and suture growth in zebrafish. Based on expression patterns and localization, we identified osteoblasts at different degrees of maturation. Our

Augmentation of BMP Signaling in Cranial Neural Crest Cells Leads to Premature Cranial Sutures Fusion through Endochondral Ossification in Mice [PDF]
JBMR Plus, 2023 Craniosynostosis is a congenital anomaly characterized by the premature fusion of cranial sutures. Sutures are a critical connective tissue that regulates bone growth; their aberrant fusion results in abnormal shapes of the head and face.

Alleviating abnormal stress on compressed cranial sutures: a potential mechanism for treating and preventing deformational plagiocephaly [PDF]
Italian Journal of PediatricsBackground Abnormal stress in cranial sutures is strongly related to deformational plagiocephaly (DP) and is responsible for morphological changes in the skull, facial asymmetry, and abnormal facial tension.

Finite Element Analysis of the Effects of Different Shapes of Adult Cranial Sutures on Their Mechanical Behavior [PDF]
BioengineeringCranial sutures play critical roles in load distribution and neuroprotection, with their biomechanical performance intimately linked to morphological complexity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of different morphologies of cranial

Sensitivity and specificity of magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography for the determination of the developmental state of cranial sutures and synchondroses in the dog [PDF]
BMC Veterinary Research, 2019 Background During skull ontogenesis, growth centers in the skull base and calvarial bones allow gradual expansion of the cranial vault. Premature growth termination of cranial base synchondroses and/or calvarial sutures can result in devastating skull ...

Mechanical properties of calvarial bones in a mouse model for craniosynostosis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The mammalian cranial vault largely consists of five flat bones that are joined together along their edges by soft fibrous tissues called sutures. Premature closure of the cranial sutures, craniosynostosis, can lead to serious clinical pathology unless ...

Evolution of accessory bones in cetacean skull coupled with decreasing rate of ossification of cranial sutures [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe skulls of cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises) are distinguished by incomplete ossification of cranial sutures during their lifetime. We suggested suture ossification may correlate with the evolution of rarely reported accessory bones and ...

Accessory occipital suture simulating fracture in pediatric head trauma: A case report [PDF]
Radiology Case ReportsThe development of the occipital bone is complex and the presence of accessory sutures, such as the mendosal suture, represent a diagnostic challenge in pediatric imaging.

Preservation versus Structural Cranioplasty: A New Concept for Craniosynostosis Treatment [PDF]
Archives of Plastic SurgeryCraniosynostosis, a condition characterized by the premature closure of one or more cranial sutures, can be classified based on the affected suture, the number of sutures involved, or the presence of syndromic features.
