Tenascin-C expression controls the maturation of articular cartilage in mice

Abstract Objective Expression of the de-adhesive extracellular matrix protein tenascin-C (TNC) is associated with the early postnatal development of articular cartilage which is both load-dependent and associated with chondrocyte differentiation. We assessed morphological changes in the articular ca...
