How do we measure some thing that is, by its very nature, largely hidden? This is the conundrum that faces all who have attempted to develop a means of measuring corruption. Given the seemingly intractable nature of this problem, the obvious question... Read More about Measuring corruption: Perspectives, critiques and limits.

Background


Sox 9 is a major marker of chondrocyte differentiation. When chondrocytes are cultured in vitro they progressively de-differentiate and this is associated with a decline in Sox 9 expression. The active form of vitamin D, 1, 25 (OH)2D3...
