Bone tissue is comprised of a collagen-rich matrix containing non-collagenous organic compounds, strengthened by mineral crystals. Bone strength reflects the amount and structure of bone, as well as its quality. These qualities are determined and maintained by osteoblasts (bone-forming cells) and osteoclasts (bone-resorbing cells) on the surface of the bone and osteocytes embedded within the bone matrix. Bone development and growth also involves cartilage cells (chondrocytes). These cells do not act in isolation, but function in a coordinated manner, including co-ordination within each lineage, between the cells of bone, and between these cells and other cell types within the bone microenvironment. This communication pathways responsible for controlling bone development and remodeling.
