Osteocytes,the primary cells in bone,play a crucial role in sensing external load environments and regulating other bone cells.Due to the piezoelectric effect of the mineralized matrix and collagen that make up bone,t...
Bone adapts to mechanical loading by changing its shape and mass.Osteocytes,as major mechanosensors,are critical for bone modeling/remodeling in response to mechanical stimuli.Intracellular calcium oscillation is one ...
A recent study published in Nature Communications demonstrated that restoring SERCA2 pump deficiency can enhance bone mechano-responsiveness in type 2 diabetes(T2D)by modulating osteocyte calcium dynamics.The findings...
