csontizomsejtek
Csontizomsejtek, also known as osteocytes, are specialized cells found within the mineralized matrix of bone tissue. They play a crucial role in maintaining bone health and remodeling. Osteocytes originate from osteoblasts, which are bone-forming cells, and become embedded in the bone matrix as it hardens. Once trapped, they extend long cellular processes through canaliculi—tiny channels in the bone—to communicate with other osteocytes, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts (bone-resorbing cells).
The primary function of osteocytes is to regulate bone metabolism. They act as mechanosensors, detecting mechanical
Research suggests that osteocytes may play a role in various bone-related disorders, including osteoporosis, where bone
Osteocytes are essential for skeletal homeostasis, and their dysfunction can lead to compromised bone strength and
