Role and regulation of growth plate vascularization during coupling with osteogenesis in tibial dyschondroplasia of chickens
Abstract Tibial dyschondroplasia (TD) is the most-prevalent leg disorder in fast-growing chickens; it is intractable and characterized by abnormal endochondral bone formation of proximal tibial growth-plates (TGPs). Previous studies have shown that bone is a highly vascularized tissue dependent on t...
