The functional matrix hypothesis revisited. 2. The role of an osseous connected cellular network
1 Aug 1997
Abstract excerpt
Intercellular gap junctions permit bone cells to intercellularly transmit, and subsequently process, periosteal functional matrix information, after its initial intracellular mechanotransduction. In addition, gap junctions, as electrical synapses, underlie the organization of bone tissue as a connected cellular network, and the fact that all bone adaptation processes are multicellular. The structural and...
