Death Receptor 3 (TNFRSF25) Increases Mineral Apposition by Osteoblasts and Region Specific New Bone Formation in the Axial Skeleton of Male DBA/1 Mice

Figure 4

Incorporation of BoneTag into the knee, tail, and thoracic spine of 10-month-old DR and DR mice (DR , DR ). Mice were injected with the fluorescent probe BoneTag and in vivo bone formation was analyzed. No differences in bone formation were observed in the (a) knee or (b) tail. A significant increase in bone formation was observed in the (c) thoracic spine of DR compared to DR mice (). Area quantified illustrated by red circle/box.
