Abstract excerpt
Runx2/Cbfa1 plays a central role in skeletal development as demonstrated by the absence of osteoblasts/bone in mice with inactivated Runx2/Cbfa1 alleles. To further investigate the role of Runx2 in cartilage differentiation and to assess the potential of Runx2 to induce bone formation, we cloned chicken Runx2 and overexpressed it in chick embryos using a retroviral system. Infected chick wings showed multiple...
