Journal Article
Orriss, I. R., Hajjawi, M. O. R., Huesa, C., MacRae, V. E., & Arnett, T. R. (in press). Optimisation of the differing conditions required for bone formation in vitro by primary osteoblasts from mice and rats. International Journal of Molecular Medicine, 34(5), 1201-1208. https://doi.org/10.3892/ijmm.2014.1926

The in vitro culture of calvarial osteoblasts from neonatal rodents remains an important method for studying the regulation of bone formation. The widespread use of transgenic mice has created a particular need for a reliable, simple method that allo...

Spina bifida-predisposing heterozygous mutations in Planar Cell Polarity genes and Zic2 reduce bone mass in young mice
Journal Article
Orriss, I. R., Lanham, S. A., Savery, D., Greene, N. D. E., Stanier, P., Oreffo, R., Copp, A. J., & Galea, G. L. (in press). Spina bifida-predisposing heterozygous mutations in Planar Cell Polarity genes and Zic2 reduce bone mass in young mice. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-21718-x

Fractures are a common comorbidity in children with the neural tube defect (NTD) spina bifida. Mutations in the Wnt/planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway contribute to NTDs in humans and mice, but whether this pathway independently determines bone mass...
