Calcium transport in dentinogenesis.
A fundamental question in biomineralization research is the metabolism of the ionic constituents of the mineral phase. Mechanisms for the transport of Ca2+ ions have been identified and characterized in detail for various types of cells. Surprisingly little is known about osteoblasts and odontoblasts in this respect. This paper reviews what is known about calcium metabolism during dentinogenesis.
