Endochondral Ossification Here, hyaline cartilage is replaced with bony tissue, which is how the majority of skeletal bones are formed. Bones that form in this way are referred to as endochondral ...

To remove the bias of the developmental process in endochondral bone formation in the growth plate, we used an ectopic model of endochondral ossification in 8-week-old mice of each genotype.

Available data suggest that C-type natriuretic peptide–based therapy may enhance endochondral ossification and improve skeletal growth in children with achondroplasia.

The state of ossification of the skeleton at hatching or birth and shortly thereafter is described and compared for 21 squamate species. The presence in the neonate of metapodial ossification centers ...

These observations demonstrate that although fine bone matrix contains osteoinductive proteins, matrix geometry (size) is a critical factor in triggering the biochemical cascade of endochondral bone ...
