The role of mechanical forces induced by prenatal movements in joint morphogenesis (MechJointMorph)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2018,
Most joints start off the same during embryonic development, as two opposing cartilage surfaces, and are moulded into the diverse range of shapes seen in the adult in a process known as morphogenesis. While we understand very little of the biological or mechanobiological processes driving joint morphogenesis, there is evidence to suggest that fetal movements play a critical role in joint shape dev ...
