The paper shows that autophagy activation helps regenerate growth plates after radiation injury, offering a potential therapeutic target.

This study characterizes gene expression in human growth plates, identifying novel markers and sub-populations of resting zone chondrocytes with features of quiescent stem cells.

This study reveals GH directly stimulates human growth plate stem cell proliferation via TGF{beta} and ERK pathways, offering insights into growth mechanisms and treatment optimization.

The paper uses a tissue-clearing protocol to spatially map BM-MSCs in human bones, revealing distinct microenvironment features in young and aged bones.
