Abstract

This study addresses the assumption that coupling between osteoclasts and osteoblasts requires a finely tuned interplay, orchestrated by biochemical messengers, which must follow different scenarios for modeling and remodeling. In particular it is demonstrated that, conceptually, both could be expressions of the same regulatory process, in which osteoclasts function as removers of bone only, and osteoblasts, independently, are recruited by osteocytes to form bone, as mechanical loads dictate.
