Abstract excerpt
Procollagen and proteoglycan biosynthesis was defined in long-term culture of a human osteogenic sarcoma cell line, SAOS-2. An osteoblast phenotype was maintained by these cells up to 40 days post-confluent in the presence of ascorbic acid. Under these conditions, cells deposited around them an extensive collagenous matrix that was able to mineralize in the presence of an exogenous phosphate donor...
