Proteoglycans in Embryonic Bone Development: The Unsung Heroes
Proteoglycans are crucial but often overlooked components in embryonic bone development. They play significant roles in mesenchymal condensation, chondrogenesis, ossification, cell activity regulation, extracellular matrix organization, and modulation of signaling pathways essential for bone formation and mineralization. Understanding their functions can lead to improved therapeutic strategies for bone repair and the development of advanced bone graft substitutes, such as Molecular Matrix, Inc.’s Osteo-P® BGS, which mimics proteoglycan characteristics and aids in bone regeneration.
