NOVEL BONE MINERALIZATION PROTEIN EXPRESSION SYSTEMS, AND METHODS OF STUDYING THEIR INTRACELLULAR SIGNALING PATHWAYS

摘要

The present invention is directed to methods of switching a differentiation of a cell from a non-osteogenic lineage into an osteogenic lineage. The present invention is also directed to methods of generating a model system for assessing the intracellular signaling pathways of bone growth factors.
