Osteoblasts

Over the next few months, bone cells called osteoblasts will fuse with the titanium to anchor those rods, he told her. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Bone turnover is regulated by cells called osteoblasts and osteoclasts. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Bone remodeling consists of two stages: resorption, when cells called osteoclasts dissolve old bone, creating small cavities; and bone formation, or remodeling, when cells called osteoblasts build new bone by filling those cavities with calcium. ❋ MEHMET C. OZ (2007)

The amount of calcium available to bone-building cells called osteoblasts also influences bone remodeling, as do the amounts of vitamin D and vitamin K. ❋ M.D. Walter C. Willett (2005)

Early this year, Dr. Karsenty's team published a study demonstrating that in mice a protein called osteocalcin, which is produced by bone-forming cells called osteoblasts, binds to a specific receptor on cells of the testes. ❋ By AMANDA SCHAFFER (2011)

An earlier study led by Shane Mayack, a postdoctoral fellow in Wagers 'lab, pinpointed bone-forming cells known as osteoblasts as key players in this signaling from the niche, and showed that osteoblasts play a particular role in blood stem cell maintenance and regeneration. ❋ Unknown (2010)

An earlier study at Joslin by postdoctoral fellow Shane Mayack revealed bone-forming cells known as osteoblasts have a critical role in the maintenance and regeneration of blood stem cells. ❋ Unknown (2010)
