Runx2 Regulates Endochondral Ossification Through Control of Chondrocyte Proliferation and Differentiation
24 May 2014
Abstract excerpt
Synthesis of cartilage by chondrocytes is an obligatory step for endochondral ossification. Global deletion of the Runx2 gene results in complete failure of the ossification process, but the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms are not fully known. Here, we elucidated Runx2 regulatory control distinctive to chondrocyte and cartilage tissue by generating Runx2 exon 8 floxed mice. Deletion of Runx2 gene in...
