A murine model of neurofibromatosis type 1 tibial pseudarthrosis featuring proliferative fibrous tissue and osteoclast-like cells
28 Sept 2011
Abstract excerpt
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a common genetic condition caused by mutations in the NF1 gene. Patients often suffer from tissue-specific lesions associated with local double-inactivation of NF1. In this study, we generated a novel fracture model to investigate the mechanism underlying congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) associated with NF1. We used a Cre-expressing adenovirus (AdCre) to inactivate...
