There are several pitfalls associated with research based on transgenic mice. Here, we describe our interpretation and analysis of mTORC1 activation in growth plate chondrocytes and compare these to a recent publication (Yan et al., Nature Communications

New treatment strategies for growth failure caused by chronic inflammation in children [PDF]
Chronic inflammation during childhood often leads to impaired bone growth and reduced height in adulthood. Interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and the tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) are pro-inflammatory cytokines up-regulated during chronic ...

Biallelic SLC20A1 loss‐of‐function variant causes a previously unrecognized multisystem developmental disorder. We report the first homozygous case presenting with tetralogy of Fallot, renal agenesis, polydactyly, and growth impairment. Transcriptome analysis of patient‐derived fibroblasts suggests significant dysregulation of pathways critical for ...

Inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 impacts chondrocyte hypertrophic differentiation during endochondral ossification [PDF]
Skeletogenesis and bone fracture healing involve endochondral ossification, a process during which cartilaginous primordia are gradually replaced by bone tissue.

Cyclooxygenases and prostaglandin E2 receptors in growth plate chondrocytes in vitro and in situ : prostaglandin E2 dependent proliferation of growth plate chondrocytes [PDF]
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) plays an important role in bone development and metabolism. To interfere therapeutically in the PGE2 pathway, however, knowledge about the involved enzymes (cyclooxygenases) and receptors (PGE2 receptors) is essential.

Light‐Inducible Activation of FGFR3 Facilitates Chondrocyte Maturation
Light‐inducible activation of FGFR3 induced robust activation of MAPK signaling, promoting proliferation and collagen depositon in induced chondrocytes and prevent the degeneration of osteoarthritic chondrocytes.

Responses to altered oxygen tension are distinct between human stem cells of high and low chondrogenic capacity [PDF]
Background Lowering oxygen from atmospheric level (hyperoxia) to the physiological level (physioxia) of articular cartilage promotes mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) chondrogenesis.

An unusual presentation of osteochondrosis in the elbows and tarsi of a Friesian colt
Summary This case report describes the clinical, diagnostic imaging results and post‐mortem findings in a foal that underwent reassessment following surgical management of angular limb deformities (ALD) and acute onset of gait abnormalities. Upon presentation, the foal showed an abnormal stiff gait characterised by bilateral medial limb collapse during

Multiple Phases of Chondrocyte Enlargement Underlie Differences in Skeletal Proportions [PDF]
Even a casual pass through the great halls of mammals in the world’s natural history museums highlights the wide diversity of skeletal proportions that allow us to distinguish between species even when reduced to their calcified components.
