We have observed that the inclinatores dorsales have two distinct components, being composed of a profundus and a superficialis component. Additionally, we have uncovered, through an anatomical comparative analysis, that the variation present in these muscles is considerably greater than previously considered, indicating some characteristics never described before, for instance the presence or absence of the inclinatores dorsales at the free rear tip of the first dorsal fin. Moreover, our findings for the inclinatores dorsales are different from their previous interpretation in the context of the hypnosqualean hypothesis, reinforcing the need for a reevaluation of previous morphological characters.

Our aim was to determine whether the shape of the maxilla was altered in its sagittal displacement, or whether the defect in the underlying articulation with the cranial base was responsible for the appearance of midface retrusion. Our hypothesis was that the sphenoid bone as well as the maxilla and other bones in the cranial base were affected by the anticonvulsant medication. The lateral cephalograms of 65 children exposed prenatally to monotherapy (phenobarbital, phenytoin, or carbamazepine) were evaluated using various analyses derived from geometric morphometrics (GM) on different studied areas (maxilla, entire cranial base, spheno-occipital region, and the total study area) and the resulting configurations compared with those of control children. Procrustes ANOVA suggested that shape variation for all the regions correlated significantly (p < 0.0001) with exposure to antiepileptic drugs, and principal component analysis revealed a noticeable separation between the means of the two groups when PC1 was plotted against PC2 for all the areas studied. The cross-validation resulting from the discriminant function analysis accurately classified between 79.5% and 88.6% of the control group and between 73.8% and 90.7% of the study group when looking at the different anatomic regions. Canonical variate analysis, applied to the sample after its separation following biological sex and stratification into two age groups, showed unequal results between males and females as well as during circumpubertal growth of the cranial base. Thus, in the exposed subjects, while the glabella was projected forward with a similar prominence in males and females, the rhinion, which is relocated more posteriorly, was more severely displaced in females as opposed to the sella, where the most important displacement occurred in males. Regarding the age groups, it revealed that patients in the younger group of both sexes exhibited a facial shape difference very early (p < 0.0001) when the comparison was performed between exposed and non-exposed subjects. This difference was maintained in females at older ages but not in males. These details may help isolate the mechanism for the anomalies because of GM's use of shape instead of traditional linear and angular cephalometric measurements.</p>","PeriodicalId":14971,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anatomy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142545598","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, this critical task is often assigned to students, a process that, unfortunately, tends to be time-consuming and repetitive. Well-conducted and well-described segmentation procedures can potentially guide novice and even expert operators and enhance research works' internal and external validity, making it possible to harmonize studies and facilitate data sharing. Furthermore, recent advances in neuroimaging, such as ex vivo imaging or ultra-high-field MRI, enable new acquisition modalities and the identification of minute structures that are barely visible with typical approaches. In this context of increasingly detailed and multimodal brain studies, reflecting on methodology is relevant and necessary. Because it is crucial to implement good practices in manual segmentation per se but also in the description of the segmentation procedures in research papers, we propose a general roadmap for optimizing the technique, its process and the reporting of manual segmentation.

Neurons and astrocytes, play vital roles in neural signalling and support respectively and respond to cues from the surrounding matrix environment. However, a better understanding of the impact of specific individual extracellular matrix proteins on both neurons and astrocytes is critical for advancing the development of matrix-based scaffolds for neural repair applications. This study aimed to provide an in-depth analysis of how different commonly used extracellular matrix proteins- laminin-1, Fn, collagen IV, and collagen I-affect the morphology and growth of trophic induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived astrocyte progenitors and mouse motor neuron-like cells. Following a 7-day culture period, morphological assessments revealed that laminin-1, fibronectin, and collagen-IV, but not collagen I, promoted increased process extension and a stellate morphology in astrocytes, with collagen-IV yielding the greatest increases. Subsequent analysis of neurons grown on the different extracellular matrix proteins revealed a similar pattern with laminin-1, fibronectin, and collagen-IV supporting robust neurite outgrowth. fibronectin promoted the greatest increase in neurite extension, while collagen-I did not enhance neurite growth compared to poly-L-lysine controls. Super-resolution microscopy highlighted extracellular matrix-specific nanoscale changes in cytoskeletal organization, with distinct patterns of actin filament distribution where the three basement membrane-associated proteins (laminin-1, fibronectin, and collagen-IV) promoted the extension of fine cellular processes. Overall, this study demonstrates the potent effect of laminin-1, fibronectin and collagen-IV to promote both iPSC-derived astrocyte progenitor and neuronal growth, yielding detailed insights into the effect of extracellular matrix proteins on neural cell morphology at both the whole cell and nanoscale levels. The ability of laminin-1, collagen-IV and fibronectin to elicit strong growth-promoting effects highlight their suitability as optimal extracellular matrix proteins to incorporate into neurotrophic biomaterial scaffolds for the delivery of cell cargoes for neural repair.</p>","PeriodicalId":14971,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anatomy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142500904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The formation of both midline and bilateral orofacial clefts in laryngeally echolocating bats, morphologically similar to the syndromic and non-syndromic cleft palate in humans, are not well understood. Developmental series of prenatal samples (n = 128) and adults (n = 10) of eight bat species (two pteropodids, four rhinolophoids, and two yangochiropterans), and two non-bat mammals (Mus musculus and Erinaceus amurensis), were CT-scanned and cranial bones forming the upper jaw complex were three-dimensionally visualised to assess whether differences in palate development can be observed across bat phylogeny. Volumetric data of bones composing the upper jaw complex were measured to quantify palate growth. The premaxilla is relatively reduced in bats compared to other mammals and its shape is heterogeneous depending on the presence and type of orofacial cleft across bat phylogeny. The palatine process of premaxillary bones is lacking in pteropodids and yangochiropterans, whereas the premaxilla is a mobile structure which is only in contact caudally with the maxilla by a fibrous membrane or suture in rhinolophoids. In all bats, maxillary bones progressively extend caudally and palatine bones, in some cases split into three branches, extend caudally so that they are completely fused to another one medially prior to the birth. Ossification of the vomer and fusion of the maxillary and palatine bones occur earlier in rhinolophoids than in pteropodids and yangochiropterans. The vomer ossifies bilaterally from two different ossification centres in yangochiropterans, which is uncommon in other bats and non-bat mammals. Analysis of ontogenetic allometric trajectories of the upper jaw complex revealed faster development of maxillary, vomer, and palatine bones in yangochiropterans compared to other bats, especially rhinolophoids. Ancestral state reconstruction revealed that yangochiropterans have a higher magnitude of change in ossification rate compared to other bats and E. amurensis a lower magnitude compared to M. musculus and bats.

Thirteen individuals were administered fluorochromes from pre-hatching to 4 years of age. The left tibia, fibula, femur, humerus, radius, and ulna were examined histologically and compared for differences in the number of labels within and between individuals at each sampled growth stage, and the amount of bone growth between labels was calculated. Results suggest that limb elements had differing growth rates; the fibula grew the fastest per day on average and the femur grew the slowest per day on average. All labels administered in ovo were still present in all limb elements in adults except for the tibia, suggesting growth marks are not lost in most elements and accurate calculations of growth rates could be performed in individuals up to 3 years old. All ex ovo labels were accounted for; however, when two fluorochromes were administered 3 weeks apart, the labels could not be differentiated from each other due to the new bone not being deposited at a quantifiable level. Overall, the tibia in leopard geckos is the least reliable limb bone to use for skeletochronology and the humerus, radius, and fibula preserve the longest growth record.
