The role of the A2B adenosine receptor in the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells to osteoblasts and chondrocytes: implications for bone development and fracture repair

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University === The development, maintenance and repair of the skeletal system are dependent on the differentiation of both chondrocytes and osteoblasts from their common progenitor, the mesenchymal stem cell (MSC). The A2B adenosine receptor (A2BAR) is a G-protein-coupled rece...
