Interested in how the craniofacial system develops after birth in laboratory minipig and domestic pig models? In brief, Similar at birth but divergent ontogenetically! https://t.co/vg8xKssDWh

Excited to present our latest work (also a pilot study!🔥), "Relating the Craniofacial Growth Rate in Mouse, Pig and Human During Postnatal Ontogeny" - support by @moazenlab @uclmecheng @AntProfico, Alessio Veneziano and colleagues from @UWDentalSchool at #ICVM2025
#ICVM2025 abstracts are now published! (1 pdf to rule them all) Remember that, whatever format you're doing, the recorded presentation must be submitted by 20 July! https://t.co/F1mVICUdkS

Our paper Regional variability in craniofacial stiffness: a study in normal and Crouzon mice during postnatal development is out in BMMB. This work expands on our previous paper in BMMB. We investigated various loading locations and computational models. https://t.co/InTcacDGYv

Ever wondered how birds stand up? Our paper explores how emus use their muscles to stand up. We found that these large, flightless birds use large muscle fibre length changes, activations and forces. My 1st PhD chapter out now in @JEB! https://t.co/XpONXftdbi

Summary: The dynamics, biomechanical constraints and musculotendinous coordination strategies during the sit-to-stand/walk transitions for a large bipedal bird – the emu – inform morphology, evolut...

BounTI can be used to segment various skeletal features. In this work, we introduced the novel tool and focused on the segmentation of the craniofacial system in various species. While some limitat...
Progress in craniosynostosis research! AdCr meetings unite clinicians, researchers & families to tackle this condition. Latest Journal of Anatomy issue honours Prof. Gillian Morriss-Kay & features 10 interdisciplinary studies. https://t.co/9ZK0FyhpJG

Osteoderms are mineralized tissue formed within the skin, here we described their diversity across the body of 3 lizards species. Well done @AnstasiiaMaliuk in collab with @AnthonyHerrel @VickaryousLab @DrScanley @cjaw_art @ArsalanMarghoub @moazenlab @uclmecheng funded by @HFSP
Our October issue is now out! https://t.co/p7Jayd0Cpp The cover article describes an exciting comparative analysis of osteoderms across the lizard body by Anastasiia Maliuk et al.: https://t.co/sT1S8hnj38

One of the use cases of BounTI: https://t.co/8kbh7dMFSp… The ability to automatically infer the sutures based on the label boundaries in the segmentation. Check out the animation for the BounTI segmentation of bone and soft tissue joints. #craniofacial #anatomy @JournalofAnat
