Introduction

Bony fish (i.e. teleosts) are emerging small-sized animal models to investigate bone quality, metabolism, and disease pathomechanisms. In particular, species as the swordfish (Xiphias gladius) [1] and killifish (Nothobranchius furzeri) [2] have been recently introduced to the musculoskeletal disciplines because of their peculiar hard tissue biology. We carried out a comprehensive ex vivo analysis of bone tissue to compare the hard tissue properties of the swordfish rostrum, and the killifish vertebral bone with human bone tissue. This macromolecular study of the tissue composition reveals species-dependent similarities and differences in tissue composition.
