Abstract excerpt
The major goal of this investigation was to test the hypothesis that one of the major products of bone resorption, inorganic phosphate (Pi), activates osteoblast apoptosis. Osteoblast-like cells were isolated from explants of human bone. In monolayer culture, these cells showed an osteogenic phenotype. Thus, the cells exhibited raised alkaline phosphatase activity, expressed osteogenic messenger RNA transcripts,...
