Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a key role in premature musculoskeletal aging in hypochondroplasia mouse model
Hypochondroplasia (HCH) is a mild form of chondrodysplasia, caused by variants in fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3). Today, the biological mechanism underlying musculoskeletal aging in HCH remains largely unknown. In this study, we show that Hch mice exhibit phenotypic traits of bone fragility and accelerated age-dependent articular cartilage and subchondral bone changes. Hch mice also…
