| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study was to clarify the molecular roles of p38 alpha MAP kinase in cartilage and skeletal development. Briefly, we analyzed 3 independent lines of cartilage specific conditional knock-out mice of p38 alpha isoform. We did not found significant growth and developmental failure in mice, suggesting that p38 alpha isoform might be complemented by other isoforms or redundant.
