Intercellular communication between bone cells induced by mechanical stimulation

Mechanical loading is crucial in modulating the physiology and architecture of bone. Previous experiments indicated intercellular communication among osteoblasts upon mechanical stimulation, suggesting the involvement of a soluble signal mediator. Extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) function...
