Descriptive anatomy and three-dimensional reconstruction of the skull of the early tetrapod Acanthostega gunnari Jarvik, 1952. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The early tetrapod Acanthostega gunnari is an iconic fossil taxon exhibiting skeletal morphology reflecting the transition of vertebrates from water onto land. Computed tomography data of two Acanthostega skulls was segmented using visualization software

Data-driven cranial suture growth model enables predicting phenotypes of craniosynostosis
Scientific Reports, 2023 We present the first data-driven pediatric model that explains cranial sutural growth in the pediatric population. We segmented the cranial bones in the neurocranium from the cross-sectional CT images of 2068 normative subjects (age 0–10 years), and we ...

Epipteric Bones in the Pterion in Dry Human Crania from a Region of Northeastern Brazil: Morphological and Morphometric Study [PDF]
International Journal of Anatomy Radiology and Surgery, 2016 Introduction: Epipteric bones found in the pterion, the sutural confluence point on the lateral face of the cranium between the frontal, parietal, temporal and sphenoid bones, have a pattern of formation that varies according to the population.

The Intertwined Evolution and Development of Sutures and Cranial Morphology
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Phenotypic variation across mammals is extensive and reflects their ecological diversification into a remarkable range of habitats on every continent and in every ocean. The skull performs many functions to enable each species to thrive within its unique

Prevalence of wormian bones worldwide: a critical review
Anthropological Review, 2023 Wormian bones (WB) are the irregular bone structures developed from additional centers of ossification. Although they are commonly found in healthy individuals, under certain conditions (number >10, mosaic pattern, large size), they can indicate ...

Stretch force guides finger-like pattern of bone formation in suture. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Mechanical tension is widely applied on the suture to modulate the growth of craniofacial bones. Deeply understanding the features of bone formation in expanding sutures could help us to improve the outcomes of clinical treatment and avoid some side ...

Boletín Médico del Hospital Infantil de México, 2021 Background: At present, parathyroid hormone is the only existing anabolic bone therapy but produces hypercalcemia. Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) has been suggested as a bone anabolic agent that allows bone modeling formation without producing hypercalcemia ...
