18 Apr 2011
Abstract excerpt
Giant cell tumor of bone (GCT) is an aggressive tumor consisting of multinucleated osteoclast-like giant cells and proliferating osteoblast-like stromal cells. Our group has reported that the stromal cells express high levels of the bone resorbing matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-13, and that this expression is regulated by the osteoblast transcription factor Runx2. The purpose of this study was to determine the...
