Abstract excerpt
The effect of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) on proliferation and differentiation of mouse clonal osteoblastic cells (MC3T3-E1) was examined in vitro in three different stages of their differentiation. Stage I (1-3 days after plating) was characterized by rapid cell growth, negligible alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and high proteoglycan synthesis, but low collagen production. In stage II (3-5...
