Abstract excerpt
Dentin mineralization requires transcriptional mechanisms to induce a cascade of gene expression for progressive development of the odontoblast phenotype. During cytodifferentiation of odontoblasts there is a constant change of actively transcribed genes. Thus, tissue-specific matrix genes that are silenced in early differentiation are expressed during the terminal differentiation process. Dentin...
