Cell adhesion molecules in human osteoblasts: structure and function.

Abstract excerpt

Osteoblasts and bone lining cells form a near continuous layer covering the bone surface and interactions between these cells and the organic matrix of bone are important determinants of osteoblast proliferation and differentiation. In addition, cells of the osteoblast-lineage form functional communications with each other, with the extra-cellular matrix and with osteocytes through cytoplasmic processes extending...
