The Late Osteoblast/Preosteocyte Cell Line MLO-A5 Displays Mesenchymal Lineage Plasticity In Vitro and In Vivo

The process of osteoblast switching to alternative mesenchymal phenotypes is incompletely understood. In this study, we tested the ability of the osteoblast/preosteocyte osteogenic cell line, MLO-A5, to also differentiate into either adipocytes or chondrocytes. MLO-A5 cells expressed a subset of ske...
