## Abstract Hyaluronan (or hyaluronic acid, HA) is an essential component of extracellular matrices. It interacts with other macromolecules and plays a predominant role in tissue morphogenesis, cell migration, differentiation, and adhesion. The cell signaling functions of HA are mediated through th

## Abstract Endothelinβ1 (ETβ1) is a vasoactive peptide that modulates bone metabolism via regulatory effects on osteoblasts, chondrocytes, and osteoclasts. While ETβ1 may circulate in the blood stream, tissueβspecific expression of this peptide is more physiologically relevant. In the present stud
## Abstract Identification of osteoblast progenitors, with defined developmental capacity, would facilitate studies on a variety of parameters of bone development. We used expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and the parathyroid hormone/parathyroid hormoneβrelated protein receptor (PTH1R) as os
