Deletion of Runx2 in condylar chondrocytes disrupts TMJ tissue homeostasis
1 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
Runt-related transcription factor-2 (Runx2) is essential for chondrocyte maturation during cartilage development and embryonic mandibular condylar development. The process that chondrocytes, especially a subgroup of hypertrophic chondrocytes (HC), could transform into bone cells in mandibular condyle growth makes chondrocytes crucially important for normal endochondral bone formation. To determine whether Runx2...
