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...
