Cruciate ligament, patellar tendon, and patella formation involves differential cellular sources and dynamics as joint cavitation proceeds.

Our findings delineate the expression changes of several skeletogenesis-related genes before and after joint cavitation, and provide an indication on the cellular dynamics underlying ligament, tendon, and sesamoid bone formation during embryogenesis.
