    Glossary Osteoblasts

    specialized cells responsible for bone formation and mineralization

    Osteoblasts are specialized cells responsible for bone formation. They produce and secrete the matrix for bone and are crucial in the mineralization process, which helps in the development and maintenance of the skeletal system.
