## Abstract Cell differentiation and patterning are vital processes in the development of the appendicular skeleton. The hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway plays a central role in regulating the anteriorβposterior axis of the distal limb as well as the length of endochondral bones. Ligandβinduced Hh s

Cadherins form a family of cell-cell adhesion proteins that are critical to normal embryonic development. Expression of the various family members is regulated in a complex pattern during embryogenesis. Both reduced and inappropriate expression of cadherins have been associated with abnormal tissue
## Background: The adaptive response of bone cells to mechanical strain is a primary determinant of skeletal architecture and bone mass. in vivo mechanical loading induces new bone formation and increases bone mineral density whereas disuse, immobilisation and weightlessness induce bone loss. the p
