    Eur J Med Res 11:351-4. 2006
    ..These data suggest that the experimental animal model muCT and 3D image are extremely useful for follow-up of reconstruction of animal bone defects and that the atelocollagen gel is effective as a carrier of rhBMP-2...

    Takako Shimizu
    Matsumoto Dental University Graduate School of Oral Medicine, Shiojiri, Japan
    Angle Orthod 75:993-5. 2005
    ..Positive reactions to osteopontin, as a control, were detected in the cytoplasm of all layers, although they varied from published data...

    Norimasa Okafuji
    Department of Orthodontics, Matsumoto Dental University, Shiojiri, Japan
    Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 130:612-21. 2006
    ..The rapid rate might suppress or sustain the proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal progenitor cells during mandibular distraction osteogenesis. BrdU+ cells can survive throughout the entire experimental period of 5 weeks...

    T Shimizu
    Division of Hard Tissue Research, Matsumoto Dental University, Institute of Oral Science, Shiojiri, Japan
    Eur J Med Res 13:4-6. 2008
    ..At just after birth, Jagged1 was observed in a portion of almost all layer cells in their cytoplasm and membrane. These results suggest that Jagged1 plays an essential role for mandibular condylar cartilage morphogenesis and development...
