Abstract excerpt
Gain of function mutations in fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptors cause chondrodysplasia and craniosynostosis syndromes. The ligands interacting with FGF receptors (FGFRs) in developing bone have remained elusive, and the mechanisms by which FGF signaling regulates endochondral, periosteal, and intramembranous bone growth are not known. Here we show that Fgf18 is expressed in the perichondrium and that mice...
