Mouse Model Data for Calcific Myonecrosis Induced by Notexin Injury

Notexin, a snake venom, was injected into mouse skeletal muscle to induce a local injury model of calcific myonecrosis. The dataset, created by Mai Kuratani and last updated in April 2026, likely contains histological and chemical analysis results from this experiment. The 26.5 KB XLSX file documents a model where ectopic calcification persisted for over 16 months without forming bone.

Use Cases

• Modeling calcific myonecrosis based on the described notexin-induced injury protocol
• Analyzing hydroxyapatite crystal deposition patterns based on the histological and chemical analyses mentioned
• Comparing injury-induced calcification to ectopic bone formation based on the described absence of bone marrow cells and osteoblasts
• Studying long-term tissue calcification based on the observation that calcified objects remained for over 16 months

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0 for reuse
• Focuses on a specific, experimentally induced pathology (notexin-induced calcific myonecrosis)
• Describes a long-term observation period of over 16 months

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• The dataset is very small at 26.5 KB, indicating limited scope
