5.13. Differential aging of growth plate cartilage underlies differences in bone length and thus helps determine skeletal proportions

JC Lui , YH Jee , P Garrison , JR Iben , S Yue , M Ad , Q Nguyen , B Kikani , Y Wakabayashi , J Baron

Abstract: PLoS Biol. 2018 Jul 23;16(7):e2005263.In brief: In this article, Lui et al, make important observations related to the fundamental limits of longitudinal bone growth implicating the growth plate senescence program as a major regulator of bone size.Comment: A person’s right and left arms almost always grow to the same length, bu...

Abstract: Nature. 2019 Mar;567(7747):234–238.In brief: In this article, the authors present evidence that the murine epiphyseal growth plate develops a postnatal stem cell niche with monoclonal properties, that are able to self-renew. They thereby challenge the concept of a continous depletion of progenitor cells as a limiting factor for bone growth.<p class="abste...

5.15. mir-374-5p, mir-379-5p, and mir-503-5p Regulate Proliferation and Hypertrophic Differentiation of Growth Plate Chondrocytes in Male Rats

YH Jee , J Wang , S Yue , M Jennings , SJ Clokie , O Nilsson , JC Lui , J Baron

Abstract: Endocrinology. 2018 Mar 1;159(3):1469–1478.In brief: In this article, a combination of microdissection, miroRNA profiling and transfection studies identify 3 microRNAs that are highly expressed in the proliferative zone and appear to be down-stream mediators of PTHrP signaling in the growth plate.Comment: In the growth plate, P...
