Biological context of Nell1

 

Anatomical context of Nell1

  • On a cellular level, Nell-1 expression may modulate and be both sufficient and required for osteoblast differentiation [2].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Nell1

  • Distracted palates of 4-week-old male rats were maintained in an organ culture system, and tissue was either unstimulated or stimulated with Nell-1 or BMP-7 for 8 days [1].
  • We also showed that Nell-1 was expressed in rat calvarial osteoprogenitor cells and was largely absent in rat tibiae and fibroblast cell cultures [4].
