Osteoblast recruitment to sites of bone formation in skeletal development, homeostasis, and regeneration
1 Sept 2013
Abstract excerpt
During endochondral bone development, bone-forming osteoblasts have to colonize the regions of cartilage that will be replaced by bone. In adulthood, bone remodeling and repair require osteogenic cells to reach the sites that need to be rebuilt, as a prerequisite for skeletal health. A failure of osteoblasts to reach the sites in need of bone formation may contribute to impaired fracture repair. Conversely,...
