Inhibition of Growth of Dictyostelium discoideum Amoebae by Bisphosphonate Drugs Is Dependent on Cellular Uptake
Purpose. The aim of the study was to determine whether bisphosphonates are internalised by Dictyosteliumamoebae and whether cellular uptake is required for their growth-inhibitory effects. Bisphosphonates inhibi...

Patterns of gene expression associated with BMP-2-induced osteoblast and adipocyte differentiation of mesenchymal progenitor cell 3T3-F442A
The pluripotent mesenchymal stem cells give rise to osteoblasts, adipocytes, chondrocytes, and myoblasts. The differentiation of these stem cells into each of the mature functional cells may be controlled by ...

δEF1 represses BMP-2-induced differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts into the osteoblast lineage
Osteoblasts, derived from pluripotent mesenchymal precursor cells, acquire their differentiated phenotypes under the control of a series of regulatory factors, the best known of which is BMP-2. Our recent prel...
