| Research Abstract |
In order to examine the participation of muscle to the bone via humoral factor, we focused on the myostatin, which inhibits muscle growth. Firstly, we tried to examine the effect of myostatin on the bone formation. In the process of examining the bone formation, we could establish realtime calcium imaging of bone cells as well as 3D analysis of microstructure of bone.
