Creb5 Self-Regulates to Drive Joint Development Program

Quick Summary

• The research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (Volume 122, Issue 23, June 2025) focuses on synovial joint formation.
• Synovial joints develop from a progenitor cell population called the “joint interzone.”
• The study highlights the role of the transcription factor Creb5 in inducing signaling molecules necessary for forming these joint interzones.
