Abstract excerpt
<h4>Abstract (max 200 words)</h4> Collagen is the major structural component of cartilage and mutations in the genes encoding Type XI collagen are associated with severe skeletal dysplasias (Fibrochondrogenesis and Stickler syndrome) and early onset osteoarthritis. The impact of the lack of Type XI collagen on cell behaviour and mechanical performance during skeleton development is unknown. We studied a zebrafish...
