- Abstract
The article presents a study on the ovocleidin 116 (OC-116) that is found in the eggshell matrix, which is also expressed in bone cells. The researchers fertilized chicken eggs at the Institut de Selection Animale (ISA) in France, which were incubated at 37 degrees Celsius. They found that the combination of alcian blue staining and alizarin red staining allowed the detection of the first mineralized matrix at E9 in the tibia and E10 in the mandible. They also discussed the correlation between the OC-116 expression and the onset of bone mineralization.
