Abstract excerpt
The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system plays an important role in the autocrine and paracrine regulation of bone formation and remodeling. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of the autocrine IGF system during osteogenic differentiation in rat tibial osteoblasts (ROB) in culture. In this in vitro model, the stages of osteogenesis studied were S1, corresponding to the onset of alkaline phosphatase...
