Effect of Age on Fracture Healing in the Rat: Series 1

mRNA gene expression was measured in rats at 6 (young), 26 (adult) and 52 (older) weeks of age at the time of fracture. Samples were collected at 0, 0.4, 1, 2, 4, and 6 weeks after fracture. RNA from two rats were pooled for each Affymetrix Rat U34A array. Keywords = rat Keywords = fracture Keywords = age Keywords = time Keywords = femur Keywords: time-course
