Article Synopsis
- Tendons and ligaments, attaching to bones, are crucial for joint movement and stability, with their attachments influenced by mechanical forces and growth signals.
- Deleting both Fgfr1 and Fgfr2 genes in tendon progenitors resulted in larger bone protrusions and shorter long bones, indicating that these receptors play a role in bone development.
- The study reveals that FGFR signaling is important for the growth and upkeep of tendon/ligament attachments, affecting the size and shape of bone features.
