## Abstract Dexamethasone is capable of directing osteoblastic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) in vitro, but its effects are not lineageβspecific, and sustained exposure has been shown to downβregulate collagen synthesis and induce maturation of an adipocyte subpopulation withi

## Abstract Association of osteoprogenitor cells to calcium phosphate ceramics is currently under intense investigation, for its considered ability to induce bone formation and therefore to allow the successful repair of large bone defects. However, if the first experimental and clinical studies pr
We have examined the effects of BMP-2 on the expression of bone matrix proteins in both human bone marrow stromal cells (HBMSC) and human osteoblasts (HOB) and their proliferation and mineralization. Both HBMSC and HOB express BMP-2/-4 type I and type II receptors. Treatment of these two cell types
## Abstract Collagen and noncollagenous proteins of the extracellular bone matrix are able to stimulate bone cell activities and bone healing. The modification of calcium phosphate bone cements used as temporary bone replacement materials with these proteins seems to be a promising approach to acce
## Abstract In this study, the behavior of bone marrow stromal cells cultured on calcium titanium phosphate (CTP) microspheres was analyzed. Cell adhesion and proliferation were estimated by the neutral red assay and by total DNA quantification. Morphology and deposition of extracellular matrix wer
Investigation of osteoblast dysfunction in osteoporosis has been hampered by a poor understanding of normal early osteoblast differentiation, due to a relative lack of markers for the earliest cells in the lineage. Attempts to identify such markers have used cultures of animal or immortalized human
