Gene expression analysis in the zebrafish fractured scale exposed to ELF-EMFs
The zebrafish scale is a thin membranous bone embedded in the skin and consists of osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and bone matrix, providing an elegant model to understand bone metabolisms. we developed an in vivo model system using zebrafish scales to investigate the effect of extremely low-frequency-electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs) on fracture healing. In this study, we have performed RNA-seq analysis on intact scales, fractured scales not exposed to ELF-EMFs, and fractured scales exposed to 10 militesra (mT) of ELF-EMFs. Overall design: mRNA profiles of zebrafish scales were generated by Lasy-seq using Illumina NovaSeq X.
