The Mutation of <i>piezo1</i> Weakens the Intermuscular Bones in Zebrafish and Crucian Carp.

piezo1 crispants exhibited a decreasing trend in the number (epineural bone: WT, 29 ± 2 vs. piezo1 crispants, 29; epipleural bone: WT, 14.67 ± 1.33 vs. piezo1 crispants, 12.33 ± 1.67), length (epineural bone: WT, 1.642 ± 0.488 mm vs. piezo1 crispants, 1.761 ± 0.99 mm; epipleural bone: WT, 1.792 ± 0.598 mm vs. piezo1 crispants, 1.613 ± 1.117 mm), and area (epineural bone: WT, 0.074 ± 0.076 mm 2 vs. piezo1 crispants, 0.08 ± 0.103 mm 2 ; epipleural bone: WT, 0.078 ± 0.063 mm 2 vs. piezo1 crispants, 0.0627 ± 0.05 mm 2 ) of IBs compared to the WT controls.
