Osteoblasts and Osteoclasts in Regenerating Goldfish Scales Respond to Mechanical Loading: Analysis of Osteoblastic and Osteoclastic Marker mRNA Expression
Abstract:We aimed to investigate the effects of dynamic mechanical loading on the expression of osteoblast-and osteoclast-specific genes in regenerating goldfish scales. Fourteen days after the removal of scales from goldfish, the regenerating scales were found to contain calcified tissue, with osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and a newly synthesized calcified bone matrix plate. Recently, we found that goldfish s c a l e r e g e n e r a t i o n s h o w s s i m i l a r g e n e expression to intramembranous mammalian bone osteo… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
