May 2003

Cover Legend

Pseudo-colored, bright-field image of a section through a P1 maxillary molar from pOBCol2.3GFPemd transgenic mice hybridized with a DSPP riboprobe. DSPP is expressed at high levels by the entire layer of odontoblasts covering the dental pulp and in a group of early secretory ameloblasts located at the cervical loop opposing the DSPP-expressing functional odontoblasts. DSPP is not expressed in the osteoblasts and osteocytes of the developing alveolar bone. For more details, see the article by Braut et al. pp. 281 in the present issue.
