  • The researchers from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research have mapped the Osteocytes for the first time.
  • Osteocytes are oblate shaped bone cells.
  • They are found in bone tissues.
  • The researchers have pictured the whole landscape of osteocytes.
  • This network is responsible for monitoring bone health.
  • It responds to ageing.
  • The researchers have found that majority of the genes that are active within osteocytes had no role in bones.
  • This means that they only give commands.
  • This discovery will help to understand what controls the skeleton actually.
