GENOMIC FEATURES ORIGINATING FROM THIS LAB No data available


STATEMENT OF RESEARCH INTERESTS
Our group studies the development and growth of the skeleton. We are interested in i) how bones and cartilages respond to external environmental disturbances such as vibrations and microgravity; and ii) how the cartilage resorption that precedes ossification takes place.
