Abstract excerpt
Some recent studies have suggested that cells of mesenchymal origin might participate in the organic bone matrix dissolution. In the present study, collagen synthesis and degradation by human mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) derived cells were studied at early stage of osteoblast differentiation using a special two-stage in vitro culture model. In this model, cells were cultured on bovine bone slices, which were first...
