The longitudinal growth of long bones occurs in growth plates where chondrocytes
synthesize cartilage that is subsequently ossified. Altered growth and subsequent deformity …

A model explaining the dietary-protein-driven post-natal skeletal muscle growth and protein
turnover in the rat is updated, and the mechanisms involved are described, in this narrative …

Introduction: The Importance of Motor Development Motor behavior is critical to developmental …

Developmental trajectories provide the empirical foundation for theories about change
processes during development. However, the ability to distinguish among alternative …

Learning to walk is one of the great achievements in human development. An aim of this
chapter is to describe the developmental progression of locomotion, ranging from the …

Since the seminal work of Jean Piaget on the relation between knowledge and general
biology, researchers have started to understand the basic neurocognitive processes in the …

Sustained mechanical loading alters longitudinal growth of bones, and this growth sensitivity
to load has been implicated in progression of skeletal deformities during growth. The …

We have previously shown transient promotion by parathyroid hormone of Period-1 (Per1)
expression in cultured chondrocytes. Here we show the modulation by clock genes of …

Background Leg pain in children, described as growing pains, is a frequent clinical
presentation seen by an array of health care professionals. Described since 1823, growing …

Growth modulation is an emerging method for treatment of angular skeletal deformities such
as adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). The Hueter‐Volkmann law, by which growth is …
