Abstract

The transcription factor Runx2 regulates osteoblast differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. In this manuscript, the authors, using a specific conditional knock-out mouse model and molecular studies, demonstrate that the mediator subunit MED23 binds to Runx2 and is essential for driving mesenchymal stem cells toward an osteoblast fate.
