text: Osteocytes are regularly distributed throughout cortical and trabecular bone, even in areas of mineralized matrix devoid of vasculature (54), which could serve as a broad load-monitoring net that infiltrates every cubic millimeter of bone tissue; (b) osteocytes are intricately connected to one another (and to surface cells such as bone lining cells, osteoblasts, and vascular cells) via a large number (∼50/cell) of long cellular processes that join one another and transmit information intercellularly via gap junctions.
