Q

What occurs in the common pathway of bone/cartilage differentiation?

A

N-cadherins promote mesenchymal cell condensation & TGF-beta stimulates synthesis of fibronectin and N-CAM

Q

What occurs in the membranous bone pathway of bone/cartilage differentiation?

Q

What occurs during the permanent cartilage pathway of bone/cartilage differentiation?

Q

What occurs during the endochondral bone pathway of bone/cartilage differentiation?

A

Runx-2, ihh, & BMP-6 induce cartilage to undergo hypertrophy and secrete bone proteins.
Blood vessels bring in osteoblasts to replace cartilage in bone
