We have recently reported the chondrogenic effect of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) in high density cultures of the mouse multipotent mesenchymal C3H10T1/2 cell line and have shown the functional requirement of the cell-cell adhesion molecule N-cadherin in BMP-2-induced chondrogenesis in vitro (Denker, A. E., Nicoll, S. B., and Tuan, R. ... More
