Zebrafish Fins as a Model System for Skeletal Human Studies
1 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
Recent studies on the morphogenesis of the fins of Danio rerio (zebrafish) during development and regeneration suggest that a number of inductive signals involved in the process are similar to some of those that affect bone and cartilage differentiation in mammals and humans. Akimenko et al. (2002) has shown that bone morphogenetic protein-2b (BMP2b) is involved in the induction of dermal bone differentiation...
