Abstract excerpt
In vivo implants of demineralized dentin matrix into muscle induce the formation of bone within the muscle. As with bone matrix implants, the bone induction appears to follow a chondrogenic pathway. Outgrowth cells from explants of neonatal rat muscle respond to bone matrix, in vitro, by expressing a heightened synthesis of sulfated proteoglycans and type II collagen, phenotypic of cartilage. The in vitro cell...
