Chondrocytes in growth plates are responsible for longitudinal growth in long bones during endochondral ossification. Discoidin domain receptor 1 (Ddr1) is expressed in chondrocytes, but the molecular mechanisms by which DDR1 regulates chondrocyte behaviors during the endochondral ossification process remain
