Activin-A is a member of the transforming growth factor-โค (TGF-โค) superfamily and is expressed by osteoblasts. However, the role of activin-A on osteoblasts is not clearly understood. We examined the effects of activin-A on osteoblast proliferation or differentiation, and mineralization by the osteo

## 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
The effects of thyroid hormone on osteoblastic differentiation and activity were studied in fetal rat calvaria (RC) cells cultured for up to 30 days in medium supplemented with thyroid hormone-depleted serum. In this condition, the cells proliferated and differentiated to form mineralized bone nodul
