Abstract excerpt
A low molecular weight protein fraction isolated under dissociative conditions during the demineralization of rat incisor dentine has the ability to modulate, in culture, the expression of fibroblast-like cells explanted from neonatal rat muscle. The protein fraction enhances the incorporation of 35S-sulphate into a proteoglycan larger in weight than that produced by the uninduced cells; furthermore it induces...
