The mature osteoblast phenotype is characterized by extensive plasticity.

Abstract excerpt

While both morphological and biochemical-molecular attributes demarcate differentiation stages in specific cell and tissue types, what constitutes necessary and sufficient expression to define particular cell types is not always known. For example, mature osteoblasts (OBs) are defined morphologically as the cuboidal, biosynthetically active, basophilic cells residing on bone surfaces and responsible for the...
