Abstract excerpt
Our previous studies have demonstrated the essential roles of the transcription factor Sox9 in the commitment of mesenchymal cells to a chondrogenic cell lineage and in overt chondrogenesis during limb bud development. However, it remains unknown if Sox9 induces chondrogenesis in mesenchyme ectopically in vivo as a master regulator of chondrogenesis. In this study, we first generated mutant mice in which Sox9 was...
