Brief description Bone formation requires resorption of a cartilage template. We challenge the dogma that cartilage resorption is only by PROTEASES, and propose instead that GLYCOSIDASES might also be involved. Aims: Demonstrate that chondrocytes release glycosidases that are important for bone formation. Significance: New information for the design of reconstructive therapies for people with congenital and acquired limb deficiencies or inherited disorders such as arthritis and chondrodysplasias may be gained.
