Abstract excerpt
While both morphological and biochemical-molecular attributes demarcate differentiation stages in specific cell and tissue types, what constitutes necessary and sufficient expression to define particular cell types is not always known. For example, mature osteoblasts (OBs) are defined morphologic...
