Bone is a complex and dynamic tissue that, in addition to its biomechanical properties, harbors stem cells and precursor cells of the hematopoietic and immune system. The skeleton undergoes continuous remodeling processes to maintain proper bone homeostasis. The equilibrium and coupling of bone resorption with bone formation is fine-tuned by the controlled actions of distinct cell types: bone-forming osteoblasts, bone-resorbing osteoclasts, and osteocytes as key communicators. This ensures proper bone mass and quality. Under pathophysiological conditions, the impairment of these mechanisms triggers bone remodeling dysregulation, causing loss in bone mass and/or alteration in bone microarchitecture.This chapter deals with the function and regulation of cellular contributors of bone homeostasis – osteoblasts, osteoclasts, osteocytes, and immune cells. Further, we discuss current knowledge on the coupling of bone resorption and bone formation. Finally, we give an overview about the role of inter-organ crosstalk through bone-secreted factors that act as communicators to peripheral organs.
