Depletion of chondrocyte primary cilia reduces the compressive modulus of articular cartilage [PDF]
Primary cilia are slender, microtubule based structures found in the majority of cell types with one cilium per cell. In articular cartilage, primary cilia are required for chondrocyte mechanotransduction and the development of healthy tissue.

Chondrocytes in the resting zone of the growth plate are maintained in a Wnt-inhibitory environment
Chondrocytes in the resting zone of the postnatal growth plate are characterized by slow cell cycle progression, and encompass a population of parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP)-expressing skeletal stem cells that contribute to the formation of ...
