Comparative cranial biomechanics reveal macroevolutionary trends in theropod dinosaurs, with emphasis on Tyrannosauroidea

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Tyrannosaurus is viewed as a model organism in vertebrate paleontology, with numerous studies analyzing its feeding biomechanics. Nonetheless, the evolution of this feeding performance has been under‐addressed in Tyrannosauroidea, especially in basal tyrannosauroids. Here we used muscle‐force reconstruction and finite element analysis (FEA) to

Precise management of thick skin flaps after mandibular fibula muscle flap transplantation and implant restoration: a case report

open access: yesFrontiers in Oral Health
Implant-supported restorations are critical for rehabilitating jawbone defects and restoring patients' occlusal function. Achieving proper fit and occlusal relationship with opposing teeth, as well as establishing a healthy peri-implant soft tissue seal,

Cortical bone distribution in the human mandibular symphysis: Ontogenic and morphometric approaches in archeological context

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The human mandibular symphysis concentrates multiaxial loads during function and remodels throughout growth, but the precise mechanisms underlying cortical bone shape during growth remain relatively unexplored. Approaches based solely on thickness or external cortical contours provide only partial insights and do not capture the functional ...

Fibroblast–immune crosstalk in oral squamous cell carcinoma: from tumor promotion to immune evasion

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a highly invasive malignancy marked by poor prognosis and therapeutic resistance. Within its tumor microenvironment (TME), cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and immune cells form a dynamic network that drives ...

Inter‐ and intraspecific variation in theropod dinosaur dental microwear and its palaeoecological implications

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Differences in skull and tooth morphology, stomach contents, and estimated bite force between medium‐to‐large sized (≥100 kg) predatory theropod dinosaurs have long been suspected to correlate with differences in their diets and dietary guilds (e.g., hypercarnivory, piscivory).

Previously undocumented regional variability in crab‐eating macaque skull sexual dimorphism and its implications for biological and morphometric studies

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract In a large sample of adult crab‐eating macaques, we quantified sexual dimorphism in size, shape, and covariance across the whole skull and among anatomical regions of the cranium and mandible. All regions showed significant mean sex differences, but the magnitude of size and shape dimorphism varied substantially.

Energy-harvesting conductive materials: a material-structure synergy framework for self-powered chronic wound healing

open access: yesMaterials & Design
Chronic wounds, especially diabetic ulcers, are sustained by persistent inflammation, infection, impaired angiogenesis, delayed re-epithelialization, extracellular matrix dysregulation, and metabolic imbalance.
