Article Synopsis
- Pleiotrophin (PTN) is a key growth factor involved in the recruitment and differentiation of osteoblasts, but little is known about its role during tooth development.
- Researchers conducted experiments using various mouse dental cell lines and analyzed PTN expression through multiple techniques, including immunocytochemistry and PCR.
- Findings revealed that PTN is consistently expressed in dental cell lines and is influenced by bone morphogenetic proteins, particularly at different stages of maturation in ameloblasts and odontoblasts during tooth formation.
