Gene suppression and scar reduction[edit]

Should it be noted that suppression of this gene in wounded areas increases the rate of healing and reduces scarring? http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/rss/-/1/hi/health/7199897.stm An t isora 09:36, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Osteopontin Structure Image[edit]

In my opinion, this strcture image is highly misleading. It shows the structure of an Osteopontin antibody, not of the protein itself. This is clearly stated in the description of the corresponding PDB entry. This information should be stated somewhere in the text or below the image.
