Abstract excerpt
To investigate the molecular mechanism underlying the differentiation of osteoblasts and chondroblasts, we established a clonal cell lines, RD-C6, from Runx2-deficient mouse embryos. RD-C6 cells expressed almost undetectable levels of phenotypes related to osteoblast and chondroblast differentiation at basal culture condition, whereas treatment with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) or...
