Type II collagen-positive progenitors are important stem cells in controlling skeletal development and vascular formation
23 Jun 2022
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Type II collagen-positive (Col2+) cells have been reported as skeletal stem cells (SSCs), but the contribution of Col2+ progenitors to skeletal development both prenatally and postnatally during aging remains unclear. To address this question, we generated new mouse models with ablation of Col2+ cells at either the embryonic or postnatal stages. The embryonic ablation of Col2+ progenitors resulted in the...
