NGF-TrkA signaling dictates neural ingrowth and aberrant osteochondral differentiation after soft tissue trauma

Soft tissue trauma can result in aberrant osteochondral differentiation of local mesenchymal progenitor cells. Here the authors show that, in mice, soft tissue trauma results in NGF expression by perivascular cells, which leads to axonal invasion and drives abnormal osteochondral differentiation, an...
