Spatial heterogeneity in the canalicular density of the osteocyte network in human osteons

Spatial heterogeneity in the canalicular density of the osteocyte network in human osteons

Osteocytes interconnect with each other forming an intricate cell network within the mineralized bone matrix. One important function of the osteocyte network is the mechano-regulation of bone remodeling, where a possible mechanism includes the fluid flow through the porosity housing the cell network...
