Breast cancer bone metastases are attenuated in a Tgif1-deficient bone microenvironment
Background Osteoclast activation is a hallmark of breast cancer-induced bone disease while little is known about the role of osteoblasts in this process.

Effects of Mechanical Stress Stimulation on Function and Expression Mechanism of Osteoblasts
Osteoclasts and osteoblasts play a major role in bone tissue homeostasis. The homeostasis and integrity of bone tissue are maintained by ensuring a balance between osteoclastic and osteogenic activities.

Osteocytes but not osteoblasts directly build mineralized bone structures
Bone-forming osteoblasts have been a cornerstone of bone biology for more than a century. Most research toward bone biology and bone diseases center on osteoblasts. Overlooked are the 90% of bone cells, called osteocytes.

DKK1 Induced by 1,25D3 Is Required for the Mineralization of Osteoblasts
1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25D3), the most popular drug for osteoporosis treatment, drives osteoblast differentiation and bone mineralization. Wnt/β-catenin signaling is involved in commitment and differentiation of osteoblasts, but the role ...

In vitro characterization of immune-related properties of human fetal bone cells for potential tissue engineering applications [PDF]
We describe herein some immunological properties of human fetal bone cells recently tested for bone tissue-engineering applications. Adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and osteoblasts were included in the study for comparison.

Osteoblast biology: developmental origin and interactive nature of osteoblasts
Bone formation occurs throughout life to support growth and bone remodeling in response to mechanical forces, metabolic needs, and tissue repair upon injury. The physiological requirement for continuous bone renewal to accommodate remodeling necessitates recruitment, proliferation, and differentiation of bone-forming osteoblasts to counteract the ...

Effects of Thyroxine Exposure on Osteogenesis in Mouse Calvarial Pre-Osteoblasts [PDF]
The incidence of craniosynostosis is one in every 1,800-2500 births. The gene-environment model proposes that if a genetic predisposition is coupled with environmental exposures, the effects can be multiplicative resulting in severely abnormal phenotypes.

The role of osteoblasts in regulating hematopoietic stem cell activity and tumor metastasis
Bone marrow stromal cells are critical regulators of hematopoiesis. Osteoblasts are part of the stromal cell support system in bone marrow and may be derived from a common precursor.
