Research Abstract |
Recent studies have discussed that harmonization between bone metabolism and immune system. While, bone innervation has been discussed about contribution to bone metabolism. I have investigated the innervations of craniocervical bones, in the bone marrow and periosteum, by means of immunohistochemistry for detection of calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) and vesicular glutamate transporter expressions. In these, CGRP positive nerve terminals may interact with CGRP receptor expressed osteoclast and/or immunocompetent cells. And also, I have analyzed teleost pharyngeal jaw bone innervation (PJi) as a model animal for revealing bone-innervating neural pathway. Existence of the PJi was demonstrated clearly.Traceable peripheral nerves from bone-periphery to brain in an individual was an advantage for analyzing the neural system.
