Restraint upon Embryonic Metatarsal <i>Ex Vivo</i> Growth by Hydrogel Reveals Interaction between Quasi-Static Load and the mTOR Pathway

Mechanical cues play a vital role in limb skeletal development, yet their influence and underpinning mechanisms in the regulation of endochondral ossification (EO) processes are incompletely defined. Furthermore, interactions between endochondral growth and mechanics and the mTOR/NF-ĸB pathways are...
