أوستيوبلasts are specialized cells in the body responsible for the formation of bone tissue. They play a crucial role in the process of bone remodeling, which involves the continuous renewal and repair of bones. These cells produce a matrix of collagen and other proteins, which eventually mineralizes to form hard bone. When أوستيوبلasts become inactive, they can transform into أوستيocytes, which are mature bone cells that help maintain bone structure. The balance between أوستيوبlsts and أوستيoclasts, the cells that break down bone, is essential for healthy bone density and overall skeletal health.
