process level, this translated into regulation of collagen synthesis, matrix
mineralization, and morphogenic pathways involved in skeletal patterning
and development. On the other hand, bPTH(7-34) primarily affected cell
survival, cell cycle progression, and migration through regulation of gene
clusters associated with PI3K/AKT, p53, phosphatase and tensin homolog,
and ataxia telangiectasia mutated kinase signaling (
