Abstract excerpt
We have previously shown that the extracellular calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) is expressed in various bone marrow-derived cell lines and plays an important role in stimulating their proliferation and chemotaxis. It has also been reported that the CaR modulates matrix production and mineralization in chondrogenic cells. However, it remains unclear whether the CaR plays any role in regulating osteoblast...
