Spatial regulation of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) in postnatal articular and growth plate cartilage
3 May 2017
Abstract excerpt
Articular and growth plate cartilage both arise from condensations of mesenchymal cells, but ultimately develop important histological and functional differences. Each is composed of three layers-the superficial, mid and deep zones of articular cartilage and the resting, proliferative and hypertrophic zones of growth plate cartilage. The bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) system plays an important role in cartilage...
