An alternative patterning mechanism for vertebrate tooth complexity www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.03...

a 3d rendering of the skull and cranial muscles of the Eurasian oystercatcher (Haematopus ostralegus)

turns out you can do some pretty cool stuff with the power of diceCT, SPROUT (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...), and the SmARTR pipeline (www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...)

Any publicly accessible scans can be used. Stained scans such as diceCT are needed for visualizing soft tissues. Segmentation of the tissues of interest is required before rendering (see steps 4-5 of our pipeline). We are happy to provide assistance or advice if needed during the process.

Thanks 😊
