Cell lineage analysis of the mandibular segment of the amphipod
Frontiers in Zoology, 2006 The question of arthropod head segmentation has become one of the central issues in Evolutionary Developmental Biology. The number of theories pertaining to head segments progressively enlarges, old concepts have been revitalized, and nearly every ...

Application of Reverse Engineering and Rapid Prototyping for Reconstruction of Human Mandible [PDF]
, 2021 Reconstruction of the mandible is one of the most common challenges facing maxillofacial surgeons. The mandible plays a major role in supporting the teeth inside the mouth. This work aims to develop a proposed methodology for improving reconstructive surgery by using the simulation of a mandibular defect using imaging, design, and fabrication ...

An open-source, three-dimensional growth model of the mandible [PDF]
, 2023 The available reference data for the mandible and mandibular growth consists primarily of two-dimensional linear or angular measurements. The aim of this study was to create the first open-source, three-dimensional statistical shape model of the mandible that spans the complete growth period. Computed tomography scans of 678 mandibles from children and

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 339, Issue 7, Page 644-654, August 1, 2023., 2023 We used high‐speed videography, microcomputed tomography as well as angle measurements to assess the multifunctionality of the raptorial appendage in odonate larvae. Our results provide a further understanding of the unique prey‐capturing apparatus of odonate larvae capable of controlling a ‘switchable’ multiaxial to a restricted monoaxial joint ...

complete human mandible and valid clinical ground truth models. Sci. Data.
6:190003 https://doi.org/10.1038/sdata.2019.3 (2019), 2019 Image-based algorithmic software segmentation is an increasingly important topic in many medical fields. Algorithmic segmentation is used for medical three-dimensional visualization, diagnosis or treatment support, especially in complex medical cases.

AntGrip -- Boosting Parallel Plate Gripper Performance Inspired by the Internal Hairs of Ant Mandibles [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Ants use their mandibles - effectively a two-finger gripper - for a wide range of grasping activities. Here we investigate whether mimicking the internal hairs found on ant mandibles can improve performance of a two-finger parallel plate robot gripper.

Network Evolution of Body Plans [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 3(7) e2772 (2008), 2008 Segmentation in arthropod embryogenesis represents a well-known example of body plan diversity. Striped patterns of gene expression that lead to the future body segments appear simultaneously or sequentially in long and short germ-band development, respectively.
