Wnt Influence on Chondrocyte Differentiation and Cartilage Function
1 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
The Wnt signaling network regulates chondrocyte differentiation, proliferation, and maturation during embryonic limb development. In this review, we summarize studies of Wnt signaling during the chondrocyte life cycle in avian and mammalian systems, both before and after birth. Recent reports that implicate abnormal Wnt signaling as a contributing factor to pathogenic joint conditions are also discussed. In...
