Localization of<i>SOST</i>/sclerostin in cementocytes<i>in vivo</i>and in mineralizing periodontal ligament cells<i>in vitro</i>

Abstract

The identification of SOST/sclerostin in cementocytes and mineralizing periodontal ligament cells adds to our understanding of the biology of the periodontium, but the functional meaning of these findings can only be unravelled after additional in vitro and in vivo studies.
