Canonical WNT Signaling Promotes Osteogenesis by Directly Stimulating Runx2 Gene Expression

TL;DR: It is proposed that WNT/TCF1 signaling, like bone morphogenetic protein/transforming growth factor-β signaling, activates Runx2 gene expression in mesenchymal cells for the control of osteoblast differentiation and skeletal development.

The role of alkaline phosphatase in mineralization

TL;DR: The mechanism with which this enzyme carries out its function is not complete and it is appropriate to review the current status of this important enzyme.
Journal ArticleDOI

The mechanism of mineralization and the role of alkaline phosphatase in health and disease.

TL;DR: Although hypophosphatasia is untreatable at present, the recent success of enzyme replacement therapy offers promise, and strategies for preventing pathologic calcification using TNAP and NPP1 are in development.

BMP signalling in skeletal development, disease and repair

TL;DR: The genetic evidence implicating BMP superfamily signalling in vertebrate bone and joint development is examined, a selection of human skeletal disorders associated with altered BMP signalling is discussed, and the status of modulating the BMP pathway as a therapeutic target for skeletal trauma and disease is summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of phosphatases in the initiation of skeletal mineralization.

TL;DR: It is shown that PHOSPHO1, a soluble phosphatase with specificity for two molecules present in MVs, phosphoethanolamine and phosphocholine, is responsible for initiating HA crystal formation inside MVs and that PHosPHO 1 and TNAP have nonredundant functional roles during endochondral ossification.
