Linear growth occurs as the result of growth plate chondrocytes undergoing proliferative and hypertrophic phases. Paracrine feedback loops that regulate the entry of chondrocytes into the hypertrophic phase have been shown and similar pathways likely exist for the proliferative phase. Human long-bone growth plate chondrocytes were cultured in vitro. The proliferative effects of a variety of factors were determined by [3H]thymidine uptake and the gene expression profile of these cells was determi ...[more]
