Osteoblasts are the cells required for bone synthesis and mineralization, both during the initial formation of bone and during bone remodelling. These cells are present on the bone surface in the ...

Figure 6: Osteoblasts are the principal source of ... Alcian blue and Alizarin red staining was performed using standard histology methods 51. pQCT of Wnt16 −/−, exon 1−4 mice.

Using two image analysis systems, we have the technology to perform static histomorphometric analysis to quantify parameters such as the number of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, bone surfaces and ...

Osteoblasts act in a group to make bone over the course of several months. However, how osteoblasts cooperate with each other in vivo is still unknown. Now, researchers at Osaka University ...

Although current evidence suggests that only a minuscule number of osteoblast-lineage cells are present in peripheral blood, we hypothesized that such cells circulate but that their concentration ...

Panel A shows osteoclasts and osteoblasts in normal bone (toluidine blue, ×100). The large osteoclast is actively resorbing bone. Osteoblasts are small, cuboid cells that actively lay down bone ...

However, recent evidence also points to a direct action of bisphosphonates on bone-forming osteoblasts. Despite its clinical importance, the mechanisms of BPs on osteoblast function still remain ...
