The word "osteocytes" in example sentences

Originally proposed as a system for delivering nutrients and removing waste products from bone cells called osteocytes, scientists now recognize fluid flow through this lacuno-canalicular network as providing bone tissue with important mechanical loading information. ❋ Unknown (2009)

They had raised a tremendous clamor among young earth creationists late last March when they announced that they had recovered flexible tissues identifiable as blood vessels, blood cells, and osteocytes from a Tyrannosaur rex femur. ❋ Unknown (2005)

A second key regulator of bone formation in humans is the secreted protein SOST, which is specifically produced by osteocytes and acts as a negative regulator of osteblast activity ❋ Jochen Schulze Et Al. (2010)

"Maintenance of bone health depends on the osteocytes 'ability to sense the stimulation," ❋ Unknown (2010)

"We determined the mechanical stresses applied to the osteocytes in these experiments so that they can be compared to the mechanical signals predicted to occur within the skeleton during routine physical activities." ❋ Unknown (2010)
