Caption

The scientists used fluorescent techniques to image the grouping of chondrocytes in different zones (R, C, and H) in slices of growth plates from mice. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Apr. 10, 2019, issue of Science Translational Medicine, published by AAAS. The paper, by N. Qian at Kyoto University in Kyoto, Japan; and colleagues was titled, "TRPM7 channels mediate spontaneous Ca2+ fluctuations in growth plate chondrocytes that promote bone development."
