Global comparative transcriptome analysis of cartilage formation in vivo
10 Mar 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: During vertebrate embryogenesis the initial stages of bone formation by endochondral ossification involve the aggregation and proliferation of mesenchymal cells into condensations. Continued growth of the condensations and differentiation of the mesenchymal cells into chondrocytes results in the formation of cartilage templates, or anlagen, which prefigure the shape of the future bones. The...
