Article Synopsis
- Research over the years has revealed that bone is not just a structural organ but plays a significant role in the body's metabolism, primarily through osteocytes, which make up over 80% of bone cells.
- Osteocytes were once thought to be inactive, but new findings show they have secretory functions that influence both other bone cells and nearby organs like skeletal muscle through complex signaling pathways.
- The review aims to compile existing preclinical and clinical data on osteocyte secretions and their functions, assisting researchers in developing unbiased therapeutic strategies for musculoskeletal disorders.
