Lysyl oxidase (LOX) is a facilitator of extracellular matrix cross-linking. Using newly developed megakaryocyte-specific LOX knockout mice, we show that LOX expressed in these scarce bone marrow cells affects bone volume and collagen architecture in a sex-dependent manner.
赖氨酰氧化酶(LOX)是细胞外基质交联的促进剂。利用新开发的巨核细胞特异性 LOX 敲除小鼠,我们表明这些在骨髓中稀少表达的细胞中的 LOX 以性别依赖的方式影响骨量和胶原结构。
