Regulation and function of trans-physeal growth plate bridges: evidence for a mechanical base isolation role to minimise epiphyseal shear stress

Dionysia Valkani, LAE Evans, Catherine Mary Disney, Aikta Sharma, B Javaheri, J Chen, RT Hansen, Mark Hopkinson, Samuel Monzem, Polymnia Louka, Andrew J. Bodey, Brian K. Bay, Peter David Lee, Katherine Ann Staines, Andrew A. Pitsillides

This study investigates the regulation and function of trans-physeal growth plate bridges in mice, finding they serve a mechanical role to reduce epiphyseal shear stress during bone growth.

Ablation of the FACIT collagen XII disturbs musculoskeletal ECM organization and causes patella dislocation and myopathy

Mengjie Zhu, Fabian Metzen, Janina Betz, Mark Hopkinson, Juliane Heilig, Thomas Imhof, Anja Niehoff, David E. Birk, Yayoi Izu, Andrew A. Pitsillides, Janine Altmüller, Gudrun Schreiber, Mats Paulsson, Manuel Koch, Bent Brachvogel

This study shows that collagen XII deficiency in mice causes patella dislocation and myopathy, with altered gene expression in tenocytes and human patients showing similar patella instability.
