An in vivo assay for osteoclast activity using mouse calvaria

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study describes a novel method for measuring osteoclast‐mediated bone resorption in vivo using a mouse model. Localized injection of RANKL in a basement membrane matrix above the cranium induced osteoclast‐mediated bone resorption. Utilizing micro‐computed tomography and a semiautomated three‐dimensional analysis program, osteoclast resorption pit

Detailed Simulation of the Cochlea: Recent Progress Using Large Shared Memory Parallel Computers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
We have developed and are refining a detailed three-dimensional computational model of the human cochlea. The model uses the immersed boundary method to calculate the fluid-structure interactions produced in response to incoming sound waves.

Early synapsids neurosensory diversity revealed by CT and synchrotron scanning

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Non‐mammaliaform synapsids (NMS) represent the closest relatives of today's mammals among the early amniotes. Exploring their brain and nervous system is key to understanding how mammals evolved. Here, using CT and Synchrotron scanning, we document for the first time three extreme cases of neurosensory and behavioral adaptations that probe ...

Predicting ecology and hearing sensitivities in Parapontoporia—An extinct long‐snouted dolphin

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Analyses of the cetacean (whale and dolphin) inner ear provide glimpses into the ecology and evolution of extinct and extant groups. The paleoecology of the long‐snouted odontocete (toothed whale) group, Parapontoporia, is primarily marine with its depositional context also suggesting freshwater tolerance.

Ontogeny of the malleus in Mesocricetus auratus (Mammalia, Rodentia): Systematic and functional implications for the muroid middle ear

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The three mammalian auditory ossicles enhance sound transmission from the tympanic membrane to the inner ear. The anterior anchoring of the malleus is one of the key characters for functional classification of the auditory ossicles. Previous studies revealed a medial outgrowth of the mallear anterior process, the processus internus ...

Insidious progressive bone destruction in a dog surgically treated for otitis media: follow-up by clinical examination and computed tomography [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
A 5.5-year-old Beagle was evaluated for abnormal swallowing and a head tilt of a two-weeks duration. Inspection of the throat and external ear canal revealed an intact but abnormally bulging eardrum.

Bioimaging of sense organs and the central nervous system in extant fishes and reptiles in situ: A review

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Bioimaging of the sense organs and brain of fishes and reptiles. Left panel: 3D reconstruction of the head and brain of the deep‐sea viperfish Chauliodus sloani following diceCT. Right panel: A 3D reconstruction of a 70‐day‐old embryo head of the bearded dragon Pogona vitticeps following diceCT, showing the position of the segmented brain within the ...
