Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2 Induces the Expression of Cementum Attachment Protein in Human Periodontal Ligament Clones
1 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
Cementum is continuously formed during the lifetime of a tooth. The paravascular zones in the adult periodontal ligament (PL) comprise the progenitors for the fibroblastic (Fb) lineage and mineralized tissue-forming (MTF) cell lineages--the osteoblastic (Ob) and cementoblastic (Cb) lineages. Recent studies indicate that cementum attachment protein (CAP) is related to the differentiation of the Cb lineage and is...
