Researchers have mapped the gene activity of osteocytes to improve their understanding of skeletal disease.
Research led by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research has for the first time mapped the unique genetic profile of the skeleton’s ‘master regulator’ cells, known as osteocytes.
The study published today (May 5, 2021) in Nature Communications outlines the genes that are switched on or off in osteocytes, a type of bone cell that…
