Abstract
Intramembranous bone regeneration is an essential process for skeletal repair involving the direct differentiation of mesenchymal cells into osteoblasts. This study examines the formation of osteoblasts after marrow ablation surgery, a controlled injury model, to build understanding of intramembranous bone regeneration in haplotype mice, and how genetic variation may influence regenerative capabilities. Following surgery, femur samples were collected, frozen in optimal cutting temperature (OCT) compound, sectioned, mounted on slides, and stained using histological techniques before being analyzed under a microscope to assess osteoblast formation. Results are ongoing and will be based on microscopic observations. This research will provide insight into the capabilities of intramembranous bone regeneration in heterozygotes, potentially advancing regenerative medicine and orthopedi treatments
