Abstract excerpt
Fetal rat calvarial-derived osteoblasts, in vitro, undergo a developmental sequence of events leading to bone tissue-like organization and osteoblast differentiation. Previous studies have documented temporal expression of genes reflecting stages of osteoblast phenotype development in relation to tissue organization. Two steroid hormones are known to modify the developmental sequence; 1,25(OH)2D3 can block...
