Connexin (Cx) 43 serves important roles in bone function and development. Targeted deletion of Cx43 in osteoblasts or osteocytes leads to increased osteocyte apoptosis, osteoclast recruitment, and… (More)
Interstitial fluid flow stress is one of the most important mechanical stimulations of bone cells under physiological conditions. Osteocytes and osteoblasts act as primary mechanosensors within… (More)
The aims of this study are to investigate the effects of gravitational environment produced by a superconducting magnet on osteoblast morphology, proliferation and adhesion. A superconducting magnet… (More)
Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, is critical in many normal and pathological processes such as development, reproduction, tumor growth, and metastasis. Recently, exposure to… (More)
The Wnt signaling pathway is well known to play major roles in skeletal development and homeostasis. In certain aspects, fracture repair mimics the process of bone embryonic development. Thus, the… (More)
As a mechano-calcium channel, polycystin2 (PC2) play an important role in the response of renal epithelial cells to fluid flow shear stress. In bone tissue, osteocytes are well known as the main… (More)
Connexin 43 (Cx43) hemichannels and gap junctions in osteocytes are responsive to mechanical loading, which is important for bone formation and remodeling. However, the mechanism of these… (More)
Interstitial fl uid fl ow stress is one of the most important mechanical stimulations of bone cells under physiological conditions. Osteocytes and osteoblasts act as primary mechanosensors within… (More)

The full length cDNA of silkworm hibadh gene was cloned by RT-PCR and RACE (Rapid amplification of cDNA ends) technique. The hibadh gene and its deduced amino acid sequences were analyzed. The tissue… (More)
This study constructed an in situ cell culture, real-time observation system based originally on a microfluidic channel, and reported the morphological changes of late osteoblast-like IDG-SW3 cells… (More)
