The enigmas of bone without osteocytes
The enigmas of bone without osteocytes is a scholarly work by Mason N Dean, published in 2013 in ''BoneKEy reports''. The main subjects of the publication include biology, secreted phosphoprotein 1, mechanosensation, Vertebrata, osteoclast, Actinopterygii, osteoporosis, bone remodeling, anatomy, cell biology, osteoblast, morphometrics, osteocyte, bone, fish bone, and skeleton. To enable meaningful comparisons with mammalian bone, authors suggest thorough, phylogenetic examinations of regulatory pathways, studies of structure and mechanical properties and surveys of the presence/absence of bone cells in fishes.
