The biomechanical role of the chondrocranium and the material properties of cartilage (2020)
Journal Article
Jones, M. E. H., Gröning, F., Aspden, R. M., Dutel, H., Sharp, A., Moazen, M., Fagan, M. J., & Evans, S. E. (2020). The biomechanical role of the chondrocranium and the material properties of cartilage. Vertebrate Zoology, 70(4), 699-715. https://doi.org/10.26049/VZ70-4-2020-10

The chondrocranium is the cartilage component of the vertebrate braincase. Among jawed vertebrates it varies greatly in structure, mineralisation, and in the extent to which it is replaced by bone during development. In mammals, birds, and some bony...

Characterizing and Modeling Bone Formation during Mouse Calvarial Development (2019)
Journal Article
Marghoub, A., Libby, J., Babbs, C., Ventikos, Y., Fagan, M. J., & Moazen, M. (2019). Characterizing and Modeling Bone Formation during Mouse Calvarial Development. Physical review letters, 122(4), Article 048103. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.122.048103

© 2019 American Physical Society. The newborn mammalian cranial vault consists of five flat bones that are joined together along their edges by soft fibrous tissues called sutures. Early fusion of these sutures leads to a medical condition known as c... Read More about Characterizing and Modeling Bone Formation during Mouse Calvarial Development.

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.
