Connexin 43 Affects Osteogenic Differentiation of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament Cells via Regulation of ERK Activity by Stabilizing Runx2 in Ossification

Aims: Connexin 43 is one of the most potent gap junction proteins related to osteoblast differentiation and bone formation. We hypothesized that Connexin 43 is a significant factor in osteogenic differentiation in the posterior longitudinal ligament through the regulation of extracellular signal-reg...
