Nox4 promotes osteoblast differentiation through TGF-beta signal pathway

NADPH oxidase 4 (Nox4) is the main source of reactive oxygen species, which promote osteoclast formation and lead to bone loss, thereby causing osteoporosis. However, the role of Nox4 in osteoblasts during early development remains unclear. We used zebrafish to study the effect of Nox4 deletion on bone mineralization in early development. nox4
