GlossaryOsteocytes

mature bone cells embedded in the bone matrix

Osteocytes are mature bone cells that originate from osteoblasts, which are cells responsible for bone formation. These cells become embedded in the bone matrix and play a crucial role in maintaining bone tissue by regulating mineral content and communicating with other bone cells to coordinate bone remodeling and repair.
