  2. Osteocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteocyte

    Osteocytes are mechanosensor cells that control the activity of osteoblasts and osteoclasts [16] within a basic multicellular unit (BMU), a temporary anatomic structure where bone remodeling occurs. [17] Osteocytes generate an inhibitory signal that is passed through their cell processes to osteoblasts for recruitment to enable bone formation. [18]

  3. Bone remodeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_remodeling

    Bone tissue is removed by osteoclasts, and then new bone tissue is formed by osteoblasts. Both processes utilize cytokine (TGF-β, IGF) signalling.In osteology, bone remodeling or bone metabolism is a lifelong process where mature bone tissue is removed from the skeleton (a process called bone resorption) and new bone tissue is formed (a process called ossification or new bone formation).

  4. Bone resorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_resorption

    [11] [12] It follows that an increase in vitamin D 3 intake should lead to a decrease in bone resorption — it has been shown that oral administration of vitamin D does not linearly correlate to increased serum levels of calcifediol, [13] the precursor to calcitriol. Calcitonin is a hormone secreted by the thyroid in humans.

  6. Avascular necrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avascular_necrosis

    The hematopoietic cells are most sensitive to low oxygen and are the first to die after reduction or removal of the blood supply, usually within 12 hours. [2] Experimental evidence suggests that bone cells (osteocytes, osteoclasts, osteoblasts etc.) die within 12–48 hours, and that bone marrow fat cells die within 5 days. [2]

  9. Ossification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ossification

    Bone is broken down by osteoclasts, and rebuilt by osteoblasts, both of which communicate through cytokine (TGF-β, IGF) signalling.Ossification (also called osteogenesis or bone mineralization) in bone remodeling is the process of laying down new bone material by cells named osteoblasts.
