Abstract excerpt
Recent studies have suggested that cementoblasts may be derived from osteoblast progenitor cells, although the cementoblast phenotype has not been extensively characterized. This immunocytochemical study was carried out to investigate the expression by rat cementoblasts of a number of proteins which are characteristic of the osteoblast phenotype. Paraffin sections from developing rat tooth germs and from fully...
