Journal ArticleDOI
The induction of odontogenesis in non-dental mesenchyme combined with early murine mandibular arch epithelium
Mina Mina,Edward J. Kollar +1 more
TL;DR: Heterotypic recombinations of mandibular arch and second branchial arch tissues showed that early mandibul arch epithelia, before day 12, have odontogenic potential and can elicit the formation of a dental papilla in non-odontogenic, neural-crest-derived mesenchymal cells of the second arch.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distinct functions for Bmp signaling in lip and palate fusion in mice.
TL;DR: A Bmp4-Bmpr1a genetic pathway that functions in lip fusion is uncovered, and the function of Bmp signaling in orofacial clefting is dissected, revealing that BMP signaling has distinct roles in lip and palate fusion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dentin matrix protein 1 expression during osteoblastic differentiation, generation of an osteocyte GFP-transgene.
Ivo Kalajzic,Alen Braut,Dayong Guo,Xi Jiang,Mark S. Kronenberg,Mina Mina,Marie A. Harris,Stephen E. Harris,David W. Rowe +8 more
TL;DR: This study has generated transgenic mice utilizing a mouse DMP1 cis-regulatory system to drive GFP as a marker for living osteocytes and examined the expression of DMP-1 mRNA in murine marrow stromal and calvarial osteoblast cultures, and in bone, andCalvaria in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression and activity of osteoblast-targeted Cre recombinase transgenes in murine skeletal tissues.
Fei Liu,Henning W. Woitge,Alen Braut,Mark S. Kronenberg,Alexander C. Lichtler,Mina Mina,Barbara E. Kream +6 more
TL;DR: The authors' data suggest that Col 2.3-Cre and Col 3.6-Cre transgenic mice may be useful for conditional gene targeting in vivo or for obtaining osteoblast populations for in vitro culture in which a gene of interest has been inactivated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Directing the expression of a green fluorescent protein transgene in differentiated osteoblasts: comparison between rat type I collagen and rat osteocalcin promoters.
TL;DR: To assess transgene expression during in vitro differentiation, marrow stromal cell and neonatal calvarial osteoblast cultures were analyzed and the activity of both transgenes was restricted to mineralized nodules but the number of positive cells was lower in the OC-GFP-derived cultures.
