Computational modeling reveals a key role for polarized myeloid cells in controlling osteoclast activity during bone injury repair

Abstract Bone-forming osteoblasts and -resorbing osteoclasts control bone injury repair, and myeloid-derived cells such as monocytes and macrophages are known to influence their behavior. However, precisely how these multiple cell types coordinate and regulate each other over time within the bone ma...
