This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics and role of podoplanin-positive cells in fetal femur development, finding they contribute to coordinated bone formation.

The paper investigates how the PDPN/CLEC-2 axis influences megakaryocyte subtypes, finding that it increases HSC-regulating megakaryocytes and decreases platelet-producing ones.

This study shows that basement membrane extract enhances endochondral ossification in bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell-based cartilage organoids by altering gene expression and pathway activation.

This study shows periosteum-derived podoplanin-expressing stromal cells regulate vascularization during postnatal epiphyseal marrow development by maintaining vascular integrity.
