Retinoic acid receptors inhibit chondrogenesis, but their ability to block the cartilaginous scaffold of heterotopic endochondral ossification has not been explored. A study in mice shows that agonists of retinoic acid receptor-γ potently inhibit heterotopic endochondral ossification, suggesting therapeutic potential in people with this condition (pages 454–460).
维甲酸受体抑制软骨生成,但它们阻断异位软骨内骨化软骨支架的能力尚未得到探索。一项在小鼠中的研究表明,维甲酸受体-γ激动剂能强烈抑制异位软骨内骨化,这表明它们在这种情况下对人类具有治疗潜力(第 454-460 页)。
