Extracellular matrix mineralization promotes E11/gp38 glycoprotein expression and drives osteocytic differentiation.

Osteocytes are terminally differentiated osteoblasts which reside in a mineralized extracellular matrix (ECM). The factors that regulate this differentiation process are unknown. We have investigated whether ECM mineralization could promote osteocyte formation. To do this we have utilised MLO-A5 pre...
