The Mechanosensory Role of Osteocytes and Implications for Bone Health and Disease States
Bone homeostasis is a dynamic Irons equilibrium between bone-forming osteoblasts and bone-resorbing osteoclasts.This process is primarily controlled by the most abundant and mechanosensitive bone cells, osteocytes, that reside individually, within chambers of porous hydroxyapatite bone matrix.Recent studies have unveiled additional functional roles
