Last chance to register for #anatsocwinter hosted by the Human Anatomy Resource Centre Tony Grimm 3-5 Jan 2024! Applied craniofacial anatomy and a range of other topics over 3 days. Two great pre-conference workshops to sign up for too buff.ly/3kzSSxB

No idea what the automated hard tissue #segmentation tool – #BounTI (Boundary-preserving threshold iteration) – is? Want to? Then book our FREE annual symposium via the QR code below and hear Marius Didziokas' talk! #formandfunction Marius Didziokas UCL Faculty of Life Sciences Moazen Lab

WOW! Dominique Adriaens @dadriaens, University of Ghent UGent, is to give a keynote presentation at our UCL Centre for Integrative Anatomy 15Feb seminar. Prof Dr Adriaens will be talking about his research on seahorse tail-inspired braces/casts usable after orthopaedic trauma (ugent.be/we/biology/evo…).

Next up is Marius Didziokas, Moazen Lab UCL, with a talk titled 'An automated craniofacial segmentation tool' #AnatSocWinter #anatomy

I am delighted to announce that our paper “Multiscale mechanical characterisation of the craniofacial system under external forces” has been published in Biomechanics and Modelling in Mechanobiology. Moazen Lab UCL MechEng link.springer.com/10.1007/s10237…

🔬Another output of our latest article is a qualitative look into the deformation patterns during external loading.🐁 Here the deformations for a P7 WT animal are show! #Craniofacial #Biomechanics #microCT Read the full article here: link.springer.com/10.1007/s10237…

👏 Huge congrats to Ryoko Matsumoto on their paper "The anatomy and feeding mechanism of the Japanese giant salamander (Andrias japonicus)"! 🦎Proud to have assisted with skull segmentation. Check out the fascinating findings here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jo… #SalamanderAnatomy 🎉

Super happy to share our new article in Marine Biology 🎉! link.springer.com/article/10.100… We investigate the puncture abilities in #cephalopods rostra 🐙, mixing some experiments with #FEA modelling. This one is special for me as it's my first paper as senior author😊. Moazen Lab

We are delighted that Marius Didziokas (first author)'s paper on BounTI is out: This user-friendly segmentation tool [see supplement for links & user manual] could benefit the wider #anatomy community #craniofacial #hardtissue Mehran Moazen UCL UCL Biosciences UCL Faculty of Life Sciences

One of the use cases of BounTI: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jo…… 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 Journal of Anatomy

An alternative implementation of BounTI (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…) is available at: github.com/Didziokas/Boun… This implementation now includes watershed logic🌊 and the computational time⏲️ is not affected by the number of segments!

🎉New paper online now! iScience journal Here we present a computational framework to predict postnatal craniofacial growth in normal human.👋 Click the video to see how beautiful the cranium can be.😎 Led by Moazen Lab UCL and see our collaborators below. doi.org/10.1016/j.isci…

Happy to have had the opportunity to contribute to this special issue and the issue cover! Read the BounTI paper here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jo…

We published something that can be useful: A new biomechanical approach to model cranial sutures using contact elements in linear and nonlinear Finite Element Models #FEA #biomechanics in a Niloticus crocodile skull with Josep Fortuny @laiagarto 📒 doi.org/10.1017/pab.20…

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. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Following up on a very recent post on #wasps Grant Museum of Zoology, we thought we'd mention #bees: Marius Didziokas designs custom LEGO sets as a hobby, which, if enough support, will be made & offered for sale: beta.ideas.lego.com/product-ideas/… UCL Centre for Integrative Anatomy - what do you think, anatomically?!
