Abstract:Skeletal dysplasias are group of rare genetic diseases resulting from mutations in genes encoding structural proteins of the cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM), signaling molecules, transcription factors, epigenetic modifiers, and several intracellular proteins. Cell division, organelle maintenance, and intracellular transport are all orchestrated by the cytoskeleton associated proteins, and intracellular processes effected through microtubule-associated movement are important for the function of skeletal ce… Show more
