Modeling osteocyte network formation: healthy and cancerous environments

Abstract:

Advanced cancers, such as prostate and breast cancers, commonly metastasize to bone. In the bone matrix, dendritic osteocytes form a spatial network allowing communication between osteocytes and the osteoblasts located on the bone surface. This communication network facilitates coordinated bone remodeling. In the presence of a cancerous microenvironment, the topology of this network changes. In those situations, osteocytes often appear to be either overdifferentiated (i.e., there are more den...
