Fgfr3-expressing endosteal stem cells with osteoblast-chondrocyte transitional (OCT) identities in young bone marrow dictate active osteogenesis and aggressive tumorigenesis. The ambiguous state with epigenomic priming to differentiated cell types may be one of the unique features of skeletal stem cells that are responsible for producing a wide variety of cells of the skeletal cell lineage in physiological and pathological conditions.
