Description:
Article The resting zone of the growth plate of mammalian long bones contains stem-like chondrocytes. Here, the authors show that G-protein stimulatory alpha subunit, Gsα, and the Gq/11α G-proteins together protect stem-like chondrocytes from apoptosis and preserve chondrocyte quiescence in mouse growth plates.
