Why is it important?
Osteocytes are regulatory cells of the bone. If the function of osteocytes gets altered; then it will affect the proper functioning of bone forming osteoblasts and bone resorbing osteoclasts. Hyperhomocysteinemia affects osteocyte functionality and thereby bone remodeling process.
Perspectives
Osteocytes appear like neurons of the bone. The function of osteocyte is much elaborate than we actually think. These cells play role in physiological process and are in the forefront in arbitrating pathophysiological process during disease conditions. Healthy osteocytes yield better health.
