Sakashita Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab exploring how the shape of fish backbones is formed, from the forces applied to them and the alignment of their fibers.

AboutAbout the lab
How is bone shape determined?
The Sakashita Lab studies how vertebrae, the bones that make up a fish's backbone, are shaped.
The lab focuses on how the alignment of collagen fibers changes in response to externally applied forces, and investigates the mechanism that determines bone shape.
The lab's research keywords also include bony fishes and computer simulation.
Key terms
- Vertebra
- Vertebra: each of the individual bones that make up the backbone.
- Collagen fiber
- Collagen fiber: a fiber made of protein that is found in tissues such as bone.
