Emerging roles of osteocytes in skeletal homeostasis and mineral metabolism
2016
Int J Clin Exp Med
unpublished
Osteocytes constitute 90-95% of total bone cells and are derived from mesenchymal stem cell lineage through osteoblast differentiation. Osteocytes are dispersed throughout the bone matrix and display a dendritic morphology. The cell body of the osteocyte resides within a lacuna whereas the dendritic processes travel through the bone (called canalicular system) to reach the bone marrow. Osteocytes form a network of cells that is thought to mediate the effects of mechanical loading on bone
