Skeletal stem and progenitor cells maintain cranial suture patency and prevent craniosynostosis
Nature Communications, 2021 Cranial sutures are major growth centers for the skull vault and premature fusion leads to pathological fusion, craniosynostosis. Here the authors isolate Wnt responsive skeletal stem and progenitor cells from sutures, that can be transplanted together ...

EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF CRANIOSYNOSTOSIS IN INFANTS AT PRIMARY HEALTH CARE [PDF]
Sanamed, 2014 Craniosynostosis or premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures in infants disturbs normal brain growth. This condition causes abnormal skull configuration, increased intracranial pressure, headache, strabismus, blurred vision, blindness ...

Comprehensive genetic evaluation of Bulgarian children with syndromic craniosynostosis
Balkan Journal of Medical Genetics, 2023 Syndromic craniosynostosis (SC) is a genetically determined premature closure of one or more of the cranial sutures, which may result in severe dysmorphism, increased intracranial pressure along with many other clinical manifestations.

Challenges in identifying and interpreting organizational modules in morphology [PDF]
, 2017 Form is a rich concept that agglutinates information about the proportions and topological arrangement of body parts. Modularity is readily measurable in both features, the variation of proportions (variational modules) and the organization of topology ...

The biomechanical role of the chondrocranium and sutures in a lizard cranium [PDF]
, 2017 The role of soft tissues in skull biomechanics remains poorly understood. Not least, the chondrocranium, the portion of the braincase which persists as cartilage with varying degrees of mineralization.

Treatment timing and multidisciplinary approach in Apert syndrome [PDF]
, 2015 Apert syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by craniosynostosis, midface hypoplasia and symmetric syndactyly of hands and feet. Abnormalities associated with Apert syndrome include premature fusion of coronal sutures system (coronal ...

Elevated Cranial Sutural Complexity in Burrowing Dicynodonts
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Relationships between the complexity of the cranial sutures and the inferred ecology of dicynodont synapsids are explored. Simple complexity indices based on degree of sutural interdigitation were calculated for 70 anomodont species and indicate that the

Combined Dynamic Osteotomies for Craniosynostosis
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2023 Background:. In primary craniosynostosis, the premature fusion of one or more sutures prevents the perpendicular expansion of brain tissue (primary defect).

Clinical and Genetic Characterization of Craniosynostosis in Saudi Arabia
Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2021 Background: Craniosynostosis (CS) is defined as pre-mature fusion of one or more of the cranial sutures. CS is classified surgically as either simple or complex based on the number of cranial sutures involved.
