The integral role of fibronectin in skeletal morphogenesis and pathogenesis.

Abstract excerpt

Fibronectin (FN) serves as a critical organizer of extracellular matrix networks in two principal isoforms, the plasma FN and the cellular FN. While FN's pivotal role in various organ systems, including the blood vasculature, is well-established, its contribution to the development of the skeletal system is much less explored. Furthermore, the pathomechanisms of spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia caused by FN mutations...
