Distinct Phases of Coordinated Early and Late Gene Expression in Growth Plate Chondrocytes in Relationship to Cell Proliferation, Matrix Assembly, Remodeling, and Cell Differentiation

Abstract excerpt

Although much has been learned about growth plate development and chondrocyte gene expression during cellular maturation and matrix remodeling in the mouse, there has been a limited study of the interrelationships of gene expression between proteinases, growth factors, and other regulatory molecules in the mouse and in other species. Here we use RT-PCR of sequential transverse sections to examine the expression...
