Ubiquitin-specific protease 26 facilitates endochondral ossification by driving chondrocyte hypertrophy and mineralization
Abstract Chondrocyte hypertrophy and mineralization are essential for endochondral ossification; however, the mechanisms underlying these processes remain incompletely understood. In this study, we have identified the facilitated role of ubiquitin-specific protease 26 (USP26) in endochondral ossification by stimulating chondrocyte hypertrophy and mineralization. Ultimately, this promotes skeletal development, bone fracture healing, and the occurrence of osteoarthritis.

Unless there is a radical, and, at this point, unlikely change of heart in Beijing, this year will see the passage of a draconian new law to govern the activities of foreign NGO’s in China. If the draft currently in circulation becomes law, it will have the capacity to impact a wide variety of organizations and activities, Chinese as well as foreign.
