Abstract excerpt
In the developing embryo, signaling pathways define how the mesenchymal precursors of bone form individual skeletal elements with the proper size, shape, orientation, and integration. Disruptions to these signaling processes lead to a large variety of congenital conditions categorized as skeletal dysplasias. While individually these skeletal disorders are rare, collectively they represent a significant cause of...
