## Abstract Phosphate is required for terminal differentiation of hypertrophic chondrocytes during postnatal growth plate maturation. In vitro models of chondrocyte differentiation demonstrate that 7βmM phosphate, a concentration analogous to that of the late gestational fetus, activates the mitoch

## Abstract Endochondral bone formation can take place in the embryo, during fracture healing, or in postnatal animals after induction by implanted demineralized bone matrix. This matrixβinduced bone formation recapitulates the embryonic sequence of bone formation morphologically and biochemically.
## Abstract Changes in plasminogen activator activity were studied during the sequential developmental stages of matrixβinduced cartilage, bone, and bone marrow development. The morphological transitions were correlated with biochemical parameters. Morphologic evidence of vascularization of calcifi
## Abstract Normal endochondral bone development requires the coordination of chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation. Indian hedgehog (Ihh) is a morphogen produced by chondrocytes in the early stage of terminal differentiation and plays several key roles in this process. Ihh regulates growth
