Daidzein promotes osteoblast proliferation and differentiation in OCT1 cells through stimulating the activation of BMP-2/Smads pathway

B. Hu, Yu, B., Tang, D., Li, S., Wu, Y., Hu, B., Yu, B., Tang, D., Li, S., and Wu, Y., Daidzein promotes osteoblast proliferation and differentiation in OCT1 cells through stimulating the activation of BMP-2/Smads pathway, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

Daidzein, the most widely studied soy phytoestrogen, is not only a potential antiosteoporosis agent owing to its possible osteogenic activity, but also shows anticancer activity. However, the mechanisms through which daidzein affects osteoblast function have not been investigated thoroughly.

Proliferation and differentiation of human osteoblasts from a type 2 diabetic patient in vitro

J. Li, Liu, C. Y., Jiang, Y. F., Wei, X. Z., and Li, J. U., Proliferation and differentiation of human osteoblasts from a type 2 diabetic patient in vitro, vol. 14, pp. 11292-11299, 2015.

We investigated the proliferation and differentiation potential of human osteoblasts from a type 2 diabetic patient in vitro. Human osteoblasts were obtained from a healthy subject and a type 2 diabetic patient and were cultured in vitro using the tissue explant adherent method. Differences in cell morphology were observed under a phase contrast microscope.
