New Genetic Map Expands Understanding of Skeletal Disease X ray of knees. [Garvan Institute of Medical Research] May 7, 2021 Share Bone mainly contains three types of cells: osteocytes, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts. The osteocytes are the most abundant cells comprising 95% of the total cell population in bone with an average half-life of 25 years. Osteocytes can also be responsible for not only bone diseases and disorders, but also those of the kidney, heart, and potentially muscle. Now researchers at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research have for the first time mapped the unique genetic ...
Credit: Garvan Institute of Medical Research 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 in Nature Communications outlines the genes that are switched on or off in osteocytes, a type of bone cell that controls how other types of cells make or break down parts of the skeleton to maintain strong and healthy bones. "This new information provides a kind of genetic shortlist we can look to when diagnosing bone diseases that have a genetic...
