Bone and Dental Protein Studies

Bone and Dental Protein Studies is a research topic within Rheumatology. Science Explorer counts 19k research works in it since 1950. 19.7% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers explores the multifaceted role of osteopontin in biomineralization, inflammation, immune regulation, cancer progression, and cell signaling. It delves into its influence on various conditions such as dentinogenesis imperfecta, tumor metastasis, and autoimmune demyelinating disease. The papers also discuss the involvement of matricellular proteins in modulating cell function and tissue response to injury.
