This study shows FGFR1 signaling is essential for osteocyte survival and bone homeostasis by regulating extracellular matrix organization and dendrite formation in maturing osteoblasts.

The paper uses a CRISPRi screen to identify Clip2 as a regulator of osteocyte maturation and morphology by analyzing CD61 expression and dendrite formation.

This study identifies mRNA localization sequences in osteocyte dendrites and shows they are translated locally, revealing a mechanism for regulating dendrite structure and function.

This study identifies Sp7 and its target gene osteocrin as critical for osteocyte dendrite formation and shows their role in human skeletal diseases.

This study investigates sex-specific differences in TGFβ regulation of perilacunar/canalicular remodeling in bone, showing that TGFβ inhibition affects bone quality differently in male and female mice.
