The paper shows that Wnt antagonists, working with Fgfs, prevent premature pSmad1/5 accumulation to maintain mesenchymal plasticity and balance digit phalanx and joint formation.

This paper demonstrates that retinoid-impregnated nanoparticles can modulate bone growth by selectively targeting growth plates in mice, leading to localized changes in tibia length and angulation.

This study shows primary cilia regulate postnatal articular cartilage organization by coordinating Indian Hedgehog signaling and mechanical load responses, affecting tidemark patterning and matrix composition.
