A Reciprocal Interaction between β-Catenin and Osterix in Cementogenesis
Abstract Although accumulating evidence indicates that both β-catenin and osterix (Osx) are essential for bone and tooth development, few studies have investigated the interaction of these two key proteins in the context of cementogenesis. In this study, we used transgenic mice with constitutively a...
