Abstract:Osteocytes, the most abundant and mechanosensitive cells in bone tissue, play a pivotal role in bone homeostasis and mechano-responsiveness, orchestrating the intricate balance between bone formation and resorption under daily activity. Studying osteocyte connectivity and understanding their intricate arrangement within the lacunar canalicular network (LCN) is essential for unraveling bone physiology. This is particularly true as our bones age, which is associated with decreased integrity of the osteocyte netw… Show more
