J Bone Miner Res. 2021 Feb;36(2):369–384 Abstract: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33180356/In brief: Chondrocyte-specific ablation of the mechano-sensory Piezo1 results in substantially impaired formation of secondary spongiosa during endochondral bone formation. The study explores this unexpected finding and show that mechano-sensing in growth plate chondrocytes directly reg...
