Osteoblast (OBL) and osteoclast (OCL) numbers temporally fluctuate dynamically as bone heals from injury. (a) Schematic summarizing published dynamics of OBL and OCL following bone injury. (b) Schematic depicting the experimental workflow to induce bone injury in mice and generate bone, osteoblast and osteoclast dynamic data. (c) Representative images of micro-computed tomography revealed trabecular bone status (BONE). Decalcified bones were stained and quantified for OBL by RUNX2 immunofluorescence staining (OBL), and OCL by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAcP) staining (OCL). (d) Quantitation of temporal dynamics of bone volume, osteoclast and osteoblast population.
