Differentiation of osteoblasts to osteocytes in 3D type I collagen gels : a novel tool to study osteocyte responses to mechanical loading
Osteocytes are currently regarded as being pivotal in maintaining bone homeostasis. They differentiate from osteoblasts, are embedded in mineralised matrix and difficult to isolate. Current models for in vitro osteocyte studies are limited. Others have suggested that osteoblasts in 3-dimensional (3D...
