Coupling Signals between the Osteoclast and Osteoblast: How are Messages Transmitted between These Temporary Visitors to the Bone Surface?
Open accessAbstract
Skeletal mass is regulated by two key activities: bone removal (resorption) by hematopoietic lineage osteoclasts and bone matrix formation by mesenchymal lineage osteoblasts. During adult life, these activities occur sequentially on the same surface: a process termed as remodeling. Tiny packets of bone are removed by osteoclasts and replaced by new bone matrix produced by osteoblasts. This continual renewal process allows repair of mechanical imperfections and calcium homeostasis.

“Since TGF-β1 and IGF1 do not remain accessible long enough to affect the complete refilling of the resorption cavity,220 their action might be limited to the early phases of remodeling, when osteoclasts are still actively resorbing the bone matrix.”

“For example, TGF-β, Semaphorin 4D, Wnt10b, and BMP-2 are released by T-cells (44–46) and macrophages (47, 48), while sphingosine-1-phosphate and PDGF are released by endothelial cells (49, 50).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
