Supplemental Figure 1: Relates to Figure 1 and shows that macrophage number in zebrafish
larvae is already reduced to minimum levels at 1 day of treatment. It furthermore shows that
generation of hematopoetic stem cell precursors and erythrocytes in the kidney of adult
Supplemental Figure 2: Relates to Figure 2 and shows that bone mineralization in the
mineralization in regenerating fins occurs proportionate to the overall regenerate length and is
Supplemental Figure 3: Relates to Figure 3 and shows that there is no significant difference
in osteoblast number in adult zebrafish fins at 7 days post amputation and treatment. It
furthermore shows that there is a reduced number of osteoblasts in prednisolone treated larvae
which is, however, not due to increased osteoblast apoptosis. In addition, qRT-PCR data on
Supplemental Figure 4: Relates to Figure 4 and shows the quantification of the overall
osteoclast number in regenerating fins at 4 days post amputation and days of treatment.
