Abstract

In an in vitro study, fetal mice metatarsal bones were cultured with skin or muscle fragments at some distance. We found that skin fragments inhibit growth in length and progress of calcification. Muscle fragments had no significant effects. Apparently, skin cells may produce factors that inhibit the development of metatarsal bones.
