## Abstract While the importance of Wnt signaling in skeletal development and homeostasis is well documented, little is known regarding its function in fracture repair. We hypothesized that activation and inactivation of Wnt signaling would enhance and impair fracture repair, respectively. Femoral

## Abstract Wnt signalling has an essential role in regulating bone formation and remodelling during embryonic development and throughout postnatal and adult life. Specifically, Wnt signalling regulates bone formation by controlling embryonic cartilage development and postnatal chondrogenesis, oste
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) participate in multiple stages of the fetal skeletogenic program from promoting cell condensation to regulating chondrogenesis and bone formation through endochondral ossification. Here, we show that these pleiotropic functions are recapitulated when recombinant BM
