The Characterization of Osteocyte Apoptosis in a Mouse Model of Orthodontic Tooth Movement
<p>Background: Osteocyte apoptosis is regularly observed in the alveolar bone during orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). In this study, we wanted to further investigate its occurrence and localization.</p> <p>Method: Sixteen 10-12 week old male CD1 mice were loaded with NiTi springs between the right …

Computer simulation of the osteocyte and bone lining cell network and the effect of normal physiological changes in cellular functions on that network
Osteocytes play a critical role in the regulation of bone remodelling by translating strain due to mechanical loading into biochemical signals transmitted through the interconnecting lacuno-canalicular network to bone lining cells (BLCs) on the bone surface. This work aims to examine the effects of …

Osteocyte Activity and Skeletal Muscle Relative Gene Expression Profiling After Short-term Muscle Paralysis
… bone, increased vascular porosity, and decreased osteocyte lacunar density in the tibiae. The focus of this study was to explicate a potential source of these differences and determine if changes in gait, muscle gene expression, and markers of osteocyte activity could be detected as early as one …

Mechanically-Induced Osteocyte-Th17-Cell Signaling and Osteoclastogenesis
… tissue and replaces it with new bone matrix.|Osteocyte apoptosis has been associated with fatigue induced microdamage, and the localization of bone resorbing osteoclasts. However, the extracellular signals involved in the initiation of targeted bone remodeling are still unknown. While …
