Abstract excerpt
The tich mutation leads to the abnormal development of bones in mice such that a 'V-shaped' tongue of noncalcified cartilage appears in the central portion of the proximal tibial growth plate. In this study, alcian green staining of cartilage glycosaminoglycans was used to demonstrate the pattern...
