A study of calcium sensing receptors in odontogenic tumors

Description: The Fibroblasts isolated from odontogenic tumors express calcium sensing receptors. However, the precise function of the receptors is obscure. In this study, we showed that the expression of BMP-2 gene and protein was enhanced by calcium concentration dependent manner in the fibroblasts. These results may suggest the new methods for the bone formation by calcium which is cheep and safe.
