Abstract excerpt
STUDY DESIGN: Gene expression and protein localization of osteopontin (OPN) in spinal hyperostosis of the twy mouse by means of in situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry, and Northern blot analysis. OBJECTIVE: To verify the involvement of OPN in spinal hyperostosis in the twy mouse and elucidate its ossification pattern at molecular levels. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: OPN is a molecule that consistently...
