Abstract excerpt
Using MG-63 cells as a model system capable of partial osteoblastic differentiation, we have examined the effect of growth on extracellular matrix. MG-63 cell matrix and purified type I collagen induced a morphological change characterized by long cytoplasmic processes reminiscent of those seen in osteocytes. Concurrent biochemical changes involving bone marker proteins included increased specific activity of...
