Mechanobiological simulations of prenatal joint morphogenesis.
Joint morphogenesis is the process in which prenatal joints acquire their reciprocal and interlocking shapes. Despite the clinical importance of the process, it remains unclear how joints acquire their shapes. In this study, we simulate 3D mechanobiological joint morphogenesis for which the effects of a range of movements (or lack of movement) and different initial joint shapes are explored. We...
متن کاملHuman temporomandibular joint morphogenesis.
Temporomandibular joint morphogenesis was studied. Ranging in age of fetuses examined was from 6 to14 weeks' gestation. Our results showed the condyle so first element that appear between 6 degrees and 8 degrees week (condylar blastema). After a week appear temporal elements. Disk appear at the same time of glenoid blastema and it reaches an advanced differentation before of the condyle and tem...
متن کاملJoint shape morphogenesis precedes cavitation of the developing hip joint
The biology and mechanobiology of joint cavitation have undergone extensive investigation, but we have almost no understanding of the development of joint shape. Joint morphogenesis, the development of shape, has been identified as the 'least understood aspect of joint formation' (2005, Birth Defects Res C Embryo Today 75, 237), despite the clinical relevance of shape morphogenesis to postnatal...
متن کاملMulti-model Simulations of Chicken Limb Morphogenesis
Early development of multicellular organisms (morphogenesis) is a complex phenomenon. We present COMPUCELL, a multi-model software framework for simulations of morphogenesis. As an example, we simulate the formation of the skeletal pattern in the avian limb bud, which requires simulations based on interactions of the genetic regulatory network with generic cellular mechanisms (cell adhesion, ha...
متن کاملDivided media-based simulations of tissue morphogenesis.
Tissue morphogenesis is a key point remaining weakly understood in development biology. In particular, whatever the species considered (animals and vegetables), most of formed epithelial tissues show analogous cell polygonal distributions (Gibson 2009). Accordingly, one may wonder if there are invariant features governing this process. Among the numerous studies performed up today to answer thi...
