Abstract

Chondrogenesis, the first step in embryonic skeletal development, involves a series of highly regulated events, encompassing recruitment and condensation of mesenchymal chondroprogenitor cells and subsequent differentiation into chondrocytes. This chapter deals with the molecular events contributing to the above processes, specifically cell-cell interactions, cellular signaling pathways, and regulation of gene expression.
