Dermal bone grows by cellular invasion and intercalary biomineralization

Kate Weymouth-Crocker Jordan, Xintao Zhang, Hiromi Yanagisawa, Marthe J. Howard, David E. Clouthier, Georgy Koentges

The paper reveals that dermal bone growth involves cellular invasion and intercalary biomineralization, challenging the traditional model of matrix apposition by superficial osteoblasts.

Dermal bone remodelling by invasive osteoblasts evolved in stem gnathostomes

Kate Weymouth-Crocker Jordan, Jason Philip Downs, Xintao Zhang, Hiromi Yanagisawa, David E. Clouthier, Philip C. J. Donoghue, Georgy Koentges

The paper identifies a common lineage origin of endothelial cells and osteoblasts and reveals de novo vasculogenesis as a key mechanism in dermal bone remodeling in vertebrates.
