Recent microarray studies of mouse and human osteoblast differentiation in vitro have identified novel transcription factors that may be important in the establishment and maintenance of differentiation. These findings help unravel the pattern of gene-expression changes that underly the complex process of bone formation.
最近关于小鼠和人类成骨细胞体外分化的微阵列研究已经鉴定出了一些新的转录因子,这些转录因子可能在分化的建立和维持过程中发挥重要作用。这些发现有助于揭示构成骨形成这一复杂过程基础的基因表达变化模式。
