Abstract
Human bone-forming osteoblasts are an excellent model to investigate the mu ltiple functions of inorganic polyphosphates (polyP) for the following reas ons: 1) they contain relatively high amounts of polyP and polyP-dependent e nzymes; 2) they allow the study of both general and specific functions of t hese polymers, and 3) medically relevant results can be expected from these studies.
