Abstract excerpt
Bone matrix production and mineralization involves sophisticated mechanisms, including the initial formation of an organic extracellular matrix into which inorganic hydroxyapatite crystals are later deposited. Human embryonic stem (hES) cells offer a potential to study early developmental processes and provide an unlimited source of cells. In this study, four different hES cell lines were used, and two different...
