Wild-type bone marrow cells repopulate tissue resident macrophages and reverse the impacts of homozygous CSF1R mutation. by Dylan Carter-Cusack, Stephen Huang, Sahar Keshvari, Omkar Patkar, Anuj Sehgal, Rachel Allavena, Robert A J Byrne, B Paul Morgan, Stephen J Bush, Kim M Summers, Katharine M Irvine, David A Hume

“…Adaptation to existence outside the womb is a key event in the life of a mammal. The absence of macrophages in rats with a homozygous mutation in the colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (Csf1r) gene (Csf1rko) severely compromises pre-weaning somatic growth and maturation of organ function. …”

Zebrafish Fins as a Model System for Skeletal Human Studies by Manuel Marí-Beffa, Jesús A. Santamaría, Carmen Murciano, Leonor Santos-Ruiz, José A. Andrades, Enrique Guerado, José Becerra

“…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 during fin regeneration. …”
