lead to growth plate cartilage pathology similar to that seen with collagen X misfolding mutations (R.P.B.-H., unpublished data). These findings make it clear that in disorders involving ECM ...

in regions called growth plates. Growth happens when cartilage cells increase in number in these growth plates. New cartilage cells push older, larger cartilage cells towards the middle of a bone.

This new biomaterial consists of two key elements: a bioactive peptide that binds to transforming growth factor beta-1 ...

Background The cartilage of the epiphyseal plate might be 2–5 times weaker than surrounding fibrous tissue; therefore epiphyseal (growth) plates are very sensitive to their surrounding mechanical ...

Type II Collagen Type II collagen is more concentrated in tissues that deal with compressive loads, such as articular cartilage, the growth plates of bones, and in the areas of your tendons near ...

One area of interest is the possibility of using the protein transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 to assist with cartilage repair and in what circumstances this protein can be most effective.

The Earth's plates jostle about in fits and starts that are punctuated with earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. 4 min read There are a few handfuls of major plates and dozens of smaller ...
