The biology of osteocytes.

Abstract:

:Osteocytes, the most abundant cell type in bone, remain the least characterized. Several theories have been proposed regarding their function, including osteolysis, sensing the strains produced in response to mechanical loading of bones, and producing signals that affect the function of osteoblasts and osteoclasts and hence, bone turnover. This review also discusses the role of osteocyte apoptosis in targeted bone remodeling and proposes that the occurrence of osteocyte apoptosis is consistent with the description of apoptosis as an essential homeostatic mechanism for the healthy maintenance of tissues.

  • MicroRNA Exert Macro Effects on Cancer Bone Metastasis.

    abstract::Bone metastasis is a deadly complication of cancers arising from many different primary tumor locations. Cross talk between cancer and bone cells is a well-established driver of bone metastasis, and recent work reveals microRNA (miRNA) as key players in this communication. Functional significance of miRNA was first de...
