Sonic hedgehog (Shh) is a key signal protein in early embryological patterning of limb bud development. Its analog, Indian hedgehog (Ihh), primarily expressed during early cartilage development in prehypertrophic chondrocytes, regulates proliferation and suppresses terminal differentiation of postna

## Abstract ## Objective The use of bone marrow–derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has shown promise in cell‐based cartilage regeneration. A yet‐unsolved problem, however, is the unwanted up‐regulation of markers of hypertrophy, such as alkaline phosphatase (AP) and type X collagen, during in v
## Abstract Parathyroid hormone‐related peptide (PTHrP) is known to be an important regulator of chondrocyte differentiation in embryonic growth plates, but little is known of its role in postnatal growth plates. The present study explores the role of PTHrP in regulating postnatal chondrocyte diffe
## Abstract Indian hedgehog (Ihh) is produced by growth plate pre‐hypertrophic chondrocytes, and is an important regulator of endochondral ossification. However, little is known about the regulation of Ihh in chondrocytes. We have examined the role of integrins and mitogen‐activated protein (MAP) k
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) receptors and the biological response to PTH in osteoblasts have been shown to be influenced by glucocorticoids, growth factors, cytokines or PTH itself. Furthermore, components of extracellular matrix (ECM) appear to regulate the response to PTH as well. We investigated th
