Glossary Osteocytes

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.

research Human Epidermal Neural Crest Stem Cells (hEPI-NCSC)—Characterization and Directed Differentiation into Osteocytes and Melanocytes

91 citations , March 2011 in “Stem Cell Reviews and Reports”

This article describes protocols for isolating and expanding human epidermal neural crest stem cells and discusses their potential for cell-based therapies in regenerative medicine, but reports no new clinical results.

research Cultured Cells from the Adult Human Hair Follicle Dermis can be Directed Toward Adipogenic and Osteogenic Differentiation

38 citations , April 2005 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

Human hair follicle cells can become fat and bone cells, useful for therapy.

research Isolation and Characterization of a Fetal-Maternal Microchimeric Stem Cell Population in Maternal Hair Follicles Long after Parturition

12 citations , May 2019 in “Stem cell reviews”

In this study, fetal stem cells were identified in adult human hair follicles long after childbirth, indicating potential for autologous therapies due to their pluripotent characteristics.

research Development and Molecular Characterization of Human Placental Mesenchymal Stem Cells from Human Aborted Fetal Tissue as a Model to Study Mechanism of Spontaneous Abortion

3 citations , February 2014 in “Advances in Stem Cells”

This study concluded that placental mesenchymal stem cells from aborted fetal tissue may serve as an in vitro model for studying spontaneous abortion mechanisms and potential regenerative therapies due to their abnormal gene expression and differentiation capabilities.

research Caracterização e diferenciação neural in vitro de células-tronco de polpa de dente decíduo humano

1 citations , November 2015

This study observed that human dental pulp stem cells can differentiate into adipocytes and osteocytes, but their potential for neural differentiation remains uncertain due to similar responses seen in undifferentiated cells.
