Abstract The current rates of edentulism have been estimated to be between 7% and 69% the adult population internationally. In United States, while incidence continues decline, rapid growth coupled with economic conditions suggest that conventional denture use will continue at or higher numbers. Unfortunately, evidence‐based guidelines for care maintenance removable complete prostheses do not exist. 2009, American College Prosthodontists (ACP) formed a task force establish dentures....
Adult subcutaneous fat tissue is an abundant source of multipotent cells. Previous studies from our laboratory have shown that, in vitro, adipose-derived adult stem (ADAS) cells express bone marker proteins including alkaline phosphatase, type I collagen, osteopontin, and osteocalcin produce a mineralized matrix as by alizarin red staining. In the current study, ADAS cell ability to form osteoid vivo was determined. were isolated liposuction waste three individual donors expanded vitro...
Core-binding factor 1 (Cbfa1; also called Runx2) is a transcription belonging to the Runt family of factors that binds an osteoblast-specific cis-acting element (OSE2) activating expression osteocalcin, gene. Using yeast two-hybrid system, we identified transcriptional coactivator, TAZ (transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif), Cbfa1. A functional relationship between Cbfa1 and demonstrated by coimmunoprecipitation fact induces dose-dependent increase in activity osteocalcin...
