JAWS coordinates chondrogenesis and synovial joint positioning.
Properly positioned synovial joints are crucial to coordinated skeletal movement. Despite their importance for skeletal development and function, the molecular mechanisms that underlie joint positioning are not well understood. We show that mice carrying an insertional mutation in a previously uncharacterized gene, which we have named Jaws (joints abnormal with splitting), die perinatally with ...
متن کاملRoles of microRNAs in prenatal chondrogenesis, postnatal chondrogenesis and cartilage-related diseases
Cartilage has limited repair and regeneration capacity, thus damage of cartilage often results in its dysfunction and even chronic diseases like osteoarthritis (OA). Chondrogenesis induced by tissue-engineering methods is essential to treating cartilage-related diseases. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding single-stranded RNAs which exert their biological effects by binding to th...
متن کاملAutologous collagen-induced chondrogenesis: single-stage arthroscopic cartilage repair technique.
Autologous collagen-induced chondrogenesis is a novel, single-staged arthroscopic cartilage repair technique using microdrilling and atelocollagen or fibrin gel application under carbon dioxide insufflation. Atelocollagen is a highly purified type I collagen obtained following the treatment of skin dermis with pepsin and telopeptide removal, making it nonimmunogenic. In this procedure, atelocol...
متن کاملMatrix Effect on Chondrogenesis: Implication on Cartilage Repair
Several million people suffer from joint cartilage damage with very debilitating conditions. Once damaged, cartilage is a tissue that does not restore itself. Techniques such as micro-fracture, autogenous or allogenous osteochondral transplantation, and autologous chondrocyte implantation may be done to repair cartilage and relieve the patients’ symptoms. The environmental factors’ effect on th...
متن کاملCalcium signalling in chondrogenesis: implications for cartilage repair.
Undifferentiated mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) represent an important source for cell-based tissue regeneration techniques that require differentiation towards specific lineages, including chondrocytes. Chondrogenesis, the process by which committed mesenchymal cells differentiate into chondrocytes, is controlled by complex but not yet completely understood mechanisms that involve many componen...
