Differential expression of IGF system components in proliferating vs. differentiating growth plate chondrocytes: the functional role of IGFBP-5
4 Oct 2005
Abstract excerpt
The growth plate is an important target tissue for insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), but little is known about the regulation of the IGF system during the developmental sequence of chondrocytes. We therefore examined the expression profile of IGF system components in proliferating vs. differentiating growth plate chondrocytes by use of two cell culture models of the growth cartilage. In rat growth plate...
