Bone mainly contains three types of cells: osteocytes, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts. The osteocytes are the most abundant cells comprising 95% of the total cell population in bone with an average half ...

Researchers may be “excyted” to learn that osteocyte cultures are headed to theInternational Space Station this spring for the first time. With their delivery on the next SpaceX commercial resupply ...

Melanoma, one of the most aggressive forms of skin cancer, often metastasizes to bones, causing severe bone loss, an ...

Researchers at Australia's Garvan Institute of Medical Research have for the first time mapped the genetic profile of the skeleton's master regulator cells, known as osteocytes. Published in the May 5 ...

It's no coincidence that our bodies feel a little creakier as we age. The trillions of cells that make up our skeleton age too, and some change in ways that weaken the very structure of our bones.

New research has now mapped the unique genetic profile of the skeleton's 'master regulator' cells, known as osteocytes. Research led by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research has for the first time ...
