NCM regulates bone mineral density. (A) Duck jaw bones (n=3) have higher BMD than do quail (n=3). (B) µCT reconstructions of mineralized bone in lower jaws for duck at HH38, (C) quck at HH35, and (D) quail at HH38. (E) µCT histogram of BMD in lower jaws of HH38 quail (n=2, light blue), donor-side HH35 quck (n=3, red) and HH38 duck (n=3, dark blue). Duck have a higher average BMD than quail, and quck are quail-like.
