Predicting calvarial growth in normal and craniosynostotic mice using a computational approach (2017)
Journal Article
Marghoub, A., Libby, J., Babbs, C., Pauws, E., Fagan, M. J., & Moazen, M. (2018). Predicting calvarial growth in normal and craniosynostotic mice using a computational approach. Journal of anatomy, 232(3), 440-448. https://doi.org/10.1111/joa.12764

© 2017 Anatomical Society During postnatal calvarial growth the brain grows gradually and the overlying bones and sutures accommodate that growth until the later juvenile stages. The whole process is coordinated through a complex series of biological... Read More about Predicting calvarial growth in normal and craniosynostotic mice using a computational approach.

The biomechanical role of the chondrocranium and sutures in a lizard cranium (2017)
Journal Article
Jones, M. E. H., Gröning, F., Dutel, H., Sharp, A., Fagan, M. J., & Evans, S. E. (2017). The biomechanical role of the chondrocranium and sutures in a lizard cranium. Journal of the Royal Society interface / the Royal Society, 14(137), Article 20170637. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2017.0637

The role of soft tissues in skull biomechanics remains poorly understood. Not least, the chondrocranium, the portion of the braincase which persists as cartilage with varying degrees of mineralization. It also remains commonplace to overlook the biom...

Inclusion of periodontal ligament fibres in mandibular finite element models leads to an increase in alveolar bone strains (2017)
Journal Article
McCormack, S. W., Witzel, U., Watson, P. J., Fagan, M. J., & Gröning, F. (2017). Inclusion of periodontal ligament fibres in mandibular finite element models leads to an increase in alveolar bone strains. PLoS ONE, 12(11), e0188707. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0188707

Alveolar bone remodelling is vital for the success of dental implants and orthodontic treatments. However, the underlying biomechanical mechanisms, in particular the function of the periodontal ligament (PDL) in bone loading and remodelling, are not...

Modelling human skull growth: a validated computational model (2017)
Journal Article
Libby, J., Marghoub, A., Johnson, D., Khonsari, R. H., Fagan, M. J., & Moazen, M. (2017). Modelling human skull growth: a validated computational model. Journal of the Royal Society interface / the Royal Society, 14(130), 20170202. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2017.0202

© 2017 The Author(s) Published by the Royal Society. All rights reserved. During the first year of life, the brain grows rapidly and the neurocranium increases to about 65% of its adult size. Our understanding of the relationship between the biomecha... Read More about Modelling human skull growth: a validated computational model.

Form-function relationships in dragonfly mandibles under an evolutionary perspective (2017)
Journal Article
Blanke, A., Schmitz, H., Patera, A., Dutel, H., & Fagan, M. J. (2017). Form-function relationships in dragonfly mandibles under an evolutionary perspective. Journal of the Royal Society interface / the Royal Society, 14(128), Article 20161038. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2016.1038

© 2017 The Author(s). Functional requirements may constrain phenotypic diversification or foster it. For insect mouthparts, the quantification of the relationship between shape and function in an evolutionary framework remained largely unexplored. He...

The effect of boundary constraints on finite element modelling of the human pelvis (2017)
Journal Article
Watson, P., Dostanpor, A., Fagan, M. J., & Dobson, C. A. (2017). The effect of boundary constraints on finite element modelling of the human pelvis. Medical engineering & physics, 43, 48-57. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.medengphy.2017.02.001

The use of finite element analysis (FEA) to investigate the biomechanics of anatomical systems critically relies on the specification of physiologically representative boundary conditions. The biomechanics of the pelvis has been the specific focus of... Read More about The effect of boundary constraints on finite element modelling of the human pelvis.
