背景情况:
- 序列相似性20成员C家族 (FAM20C) 是一个关键骨发育和矿物化的高尔基素激酶.
- 它在骨发育中的确切作用在很大程度上仍未被阐明.
研究的目的:
- 研究FAM20C影响骨发育的特定机制.
- 建立和分析一个前骨质细胞特异的FAM20C淘汰赛小鼠模型.
主要方法:

Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling
2.9K
Osteoclasts are cells responsible for bone resorption and remodeling. They originate from hematopoietic progenitor cells present in the bone marrow. Numerous progenitor cells fuse to form multinucleated cells, each with 10-20 nuclei. A single osteoclast has a diameter of 150 to 200 µM. These cells have ruffled borders that break down the underlying bone tissue and release minerals such as calcium into the blood in bone resorption. Osteoclasts cling to bones with their ruffled edges during...

Bone Remodeling
38.3K
Bone remodeling is a continuous and balanced process of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. In adults, it helps maintain bone mass and calcium homeostasis. While mechanical stress can stimulate turnover as part of the normal maintenance and reparative process, several hormones also regulate bone remodeling.
