Endochondral ossification is regulated by various transcription factors in a temporo-spatial manner. Identification of novel transcription factors involved in chondrogenesis would facilitate to uncover the molecular basis of endochondral ossification. To approach this, we generated transgenic mice in which chondrocytes were specifically fluorescence-labeled with Venus gene using Col2a1 gene promoter, thereby allowing us to isolate Venus-positive chondrogenic cells using FACS A...
