Abstract Osteoblasts are cells specialized in extracellular matrix production and mineralization. In collaboration with osteoclasts which are bone-resorbing cells, osteoblasts regulate bone homeostasis. The study of osteoblast differentiation from lhe earliest states of the differentiation can be performed using embryonic stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are pluripolent cells which have the capacity to give rise to all kinds of cells of the body. The main protocol to differentiate embryonic stem cells into osteoblast uses the generation ...
