On the importance of examining the relationship between shape data and biologically meaningful variables. An example studying allometry with geometric morphometrics. [PDF]

, 2013
Geometric morphometrics (GM) is a tool for the statistical analysis of shape on Cartesian landmark coordinates. However, because GM studies commonly focus on the description of morphological trends within shape space (or morphospace), the predictive ...

Histopathologic Analysis of the Morpho‐Functional Zones of the Human Acetabular Labrum

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The structural and functional adaptation of soft tissues to mechanical load controls their ability to withstand injury and influences their capacity for healing. Similar to the knee meniscus, the acetabular labrum exhibits zonal differences in mechanical load distribution, resulting in distinct regions with unique structural and functional ...

Fractal Anatomy of Human Organs: A Narrative Review of Structure, Function, and Clinical Perspectives

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fractal geometry describes complex, self‐similar patterns that repeat across spatial scales and is increasingly recognized as relevant in anatomical research. Indeed, the fractal organization is consistently observed in respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, nervous, renal, hepatic, and dermatological systems.

Lifespan Pancreas Morphology for Control Versus Type 2 Diabetes Using AI on Largescale Clinical Imaging

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how pancreas size and shape change with normal aging is critical for establishing a baseline to detect deviations in type 2 diabetes and other pancreatic disease. We measure pancreas size and shape using morphological measurements from early development through aging (ages 0–90).

Agent‐Based Computational Modeling of the Stochastic Dynamic Behavior of Actin Filaments Recapitulates the Homeostatic Cortical Array in Plant Epidermal Cells

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The homeostatic cortical actin array in plant cells plays important roles in fundamental processes, including intracellular transport, secretion, cell expansion, and cytoplasmic streaming. In response to diverse chemical and mechanical signals, the cortical array can remodel within minutes to assume new configurations or altered filament ...

Geometric morphometrics nesomyinae rodent skulls v1

, 2021
Here we aim to define how skull morphology in an endemic and monophyletic clade of rodents (subfamily Nesomyinae), which show considerable morphological variation and are largely forest-dwelling, has evolved and to characterize this disparity in a geographical and ecological context. We performed a two-dimensional geometric morphometric analysis on 419

Dynamics of postnatal bone development and epiphyseal synostosis in the caprine autopod

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bones develop to structurally balance strength and mobility. Bone developmental dynamics are influenced by whether an animal is ambulatory at birth. Precocial species, which are ambulatory at birth, develop advanced skeletal maturity in utero and experience postnatal development under mechanical loading.

Shape as a Key to Taxonomy: Morphometric Analysis of Tetropium Species (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)

Insects
The study of shape by the use of geometric morphometrics has been an important tool for addressing taxonomic challenges in complex groups like the genus Tetropium Kirby, 1837 (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae).

Developmental Brain Age Estimation From MRI Data: A Systematic Review of Deep Learning Approaches and Open Datasets

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Brain age is an emerging concept that reflects complex, time‐dependent changes in brain structure, identifying departures from expected neurodevelopmental patterns. In the developing brain, accurate MRI‐based age estimation is a quantitative biomarker for detecting atypical neurodevelopment, facilitating early diagnosis, guiding clinical ...
