## Abstract As part of its catabolic action in bone, parathyroid hormone (PTH) inhibits extracellular matrix mineralization. We previously showed that PTH doseβdependently induces matrix gla protein (MGP) expression in osteoblasts and this induction is at least partially responsible for PTHβmediate

## Abstract The adult healing response of the rotator cuff tendonβtoβbone insertion site differs from the ordered process of insertion site development. Healing is characterized by disorganized scar and a lack of fibrocartilage formation, in contrast to the well organized fibrocartilaginous transit
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 Laminins and collagens are extracellular matrix proteins that play essential roles in peripheral nervous system development. Laminin signals regulate Schwann cell proliferation and survival as well as actin cytoskeleton dynamics, which are essential steps for radial sorting and myelinat
## Abstract Lymphoid Enhancer Binding Factor (Lef) 1 is a transcriptional effector of the Wnt/Lrp5/Ξ²βcatenin signaling cascade, which regulates osteoblast differentiation, bone density, and skeletal strength. In this study, we describe the expression and function of an alternative Lef1 isoform in o
