Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are factors that promote osteoblastic cell differentiation and osteogenesis. It is unknown whether BMPs may act on human osteoblastic cells by increasing immature cell growth and/or differentiation. We investigated the short- and long-term effects of recombinant hu
Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) is known to induce orthotopic and ectopic bone formation in vivo. Several in vitro studies using rat or mouse clonal cell lines have shown that rhBMP-2 may be involved in the differentiation of osteoblasts from osteoblast precursor cells or st
## Abstract In furaβ2βloaded human periodontal ligament (HPDL) cells, bradykinin induced a rapidly transient increase and subsequently sustained increase in cytosolic Ca^2+^ ([Ca^2+^]~i~). When external Ca^2+^ was chelated by EGTA, the transient peak of [Ca^2+^]~i~ was reduced and the sustained lev
