Osteocytes play a critical role in maintaining bone homeostasis and in regulating skeletal
response to hormones and mechanical loading. Substantial evidence have demonstrated …

Mineral and bone disease is omnipresent in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and
leads to a diverse range of clinical manifestations, including bone pain and fractures. The …

Osteocytes form an extensive cellular network throughout the hard tissue matrix of the
skeleton, which is known to regulate skeletal structure. However due to limitations in …

Skeletal fragility in the elderly does not simply result from a loss of bone mass. However, the
mechanisms underlying the concurrent decline in bone mass, quality, and …

Barrier membranes are commonly used as part of the dental surgical technique guided bone
regeneration (GBR) and are often made of resorbable collagen or non-resorbable materials …

Osteocytes and their cell processes reside in a large, interconnected network of voids
pervading the mineralized bone matrix of most vertebrates. This osteocyte lacuno …

Bone's remarkable mechanical properties are a result of its hierarchical structure. The
mineralized collagen fibrils, made up of collagen fibrils and crystal platelets, are bone's …

Although bone formation around and within implants has been intensively studied, the role
of pores and pore geometry is still debated. Notwithstanding studies reporting the formation …

Morphometry and histology are essential approaches for investigation and diagnosis of
musculo-skeletal disorders. Despite the advent of revolutionary methods of image analysis …

Osteocytes can remove and remodel small amounts of their surrounding bone matrix
through osteocytic osteolysis, which results in increased volume occupied by lacunar and …
