Maintenance of bone health by osteoblasts in the absence of osteocytes: comparative analysis of gene expression in medaka and zebrafish vertebrae

Osteocytes are regarded as the strain-sensing bone cells; their capacity to sense and convert mechanical loads into biological signals underpins our current understanding of how bone is (re)modelled to normalise local strains. However, most extant fish are anosteocytic and lack osteocytes, yet their bone structure and...
