Bone Biology: Bone Cells’ Branches Sense Stimulation, When To Make New Bone

July 23rd, 2010 by admin

A long-standing question in bone biology has been answered: It is the spindly extensions of bone cells that sense mechanical stimulation and signal the release of bone-growth factors, according to research from The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. The study, reported this week in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, offers an …
