Control of osteocyte dendrite formation by Sp7 and its target gene osteocrin
2021-03-22
Abstract excerpt
Osteocytes use an elaborate network of dendritic connections to control bone remodeling. Some osteoblasts embed within mineralized bone matrix, change shape, and become osteocytes. The molecular circuitry that drives dendrite formation during “osteocytogenesis” is poorly understood. Here we show that deletion of Sp7 , a gene linked to rare and common skeletal disease, in mature osteoblasts and osteocytes causes s...
