Abstract:Osteoporosis is one of the most important diseases associated with aging. The aim of this study was to determine if there is a distinct expression of genes associated with osteoblast differentiation in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and calvaria osteoblastic cells (COs) of rats induced to osteoporosis through ovariectomy. Cells from bone marrow and calvaria of control and osteoporotic rats were cultured in osteogenic medium and divided into four different groups: calvaria/control (CC); calvaria/oste… Show more
