Molecular and Functional Expression of Voltage-Operated Calcium Channels During Osteogenic Differentiation of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Abstract

These results suggest that, in the majority of hMSCs, Ca2+ entry through the plasma membrane is mediated by some channels other than VOCCs, and blockade of the L-type Ca2+ channels does not affect early osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs.
