Project description
Osteogenesis Imperfecta is a skeletal disorder characterized by significant clinical variability. To gain more insights into the mechanisms responsible for this variability, various zebrafish models of OI are used for phenotypic, molecular and behavior research. These findings may contribute to potential therapies for the different forms of OI.
