Kobayashi-Sun et al. characterise the healing of fractured bone in the transgenic zebrafish scale by transplantation assays and live imaging, revealing that immature osteoclasts engulf osteoblast-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) under fracture stress, leading to osteoclast differentiation. This study provides insights into the role of EVs in osteoclastogenesis.
