Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Engineered microparticle topographies direct human mesenchymal stem cell osteogenesis without biochemical additives. This osteogenic commitment is driven by canonical Hedgehog signaling and followed by temporal IGF‐II engagement. Two‐photon polymerization demonstrates spatial control, enabling the engineering of topographical gradients that pattern ...

Osteocyte function, osteocyte death and bone fracture resistance
Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2000 The function of the most numerous cell in bone, the osteocyte, has until recently been mysterious and at times controversial. There is now an emerging consensus that osteocytes modulate signals arising from mechanical loading and so direct the appearance and disappearance of bone tissue at the microscopic level, which allows bone as an organ both to ...

FGF23 production by osteocytes [PDF]
Pediatric Nephrology, 2012 Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), a known regulator of phosphate homeostasis, is produced by cells residing in bone, namely, osteocytes, to target a distant organ, the kidney. Elevated FGF23 levels have recently been found systemically and in osteocytes in patients and animal models of chronic kidney disease.

Recapitulating Endochondral Ossification for Bone Repair: From Development to Engineering Strategy
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This review summarizes the developmental basis of endochondral ossification (ECO) and its applications in bone tissue engineering (BTE). It first outlines the key biological processes and signaling pathways underlying ECO, then discusses biomaterial‐based engineering strategies derived from these principles, and finally highlights future directions for

Research progress on the regulation and mechanism of osteocytes on osteoblasts and osteoclasts
Kouqiang hemian waike zazhiWith the continuous explorations and researches of osteocytes, osteocytes are no longer mistaken for a kind of quiescent and passive cells, but active and positive cells, which play important regulatory roles in osteoblasts and osteoclasts.

Osteocytes Enhance Osteogenesis by Autophagy-Mediated FGF23 Secretion Under Mechanical Tension
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Mechanical stimuli control cell behaviors that are crucial for bone tissue repair. Osteocytes sense extracellular mechanical stimuli then convert them into biochemical signals to harmonize bone remodeling.
