#Osteoblasts are cells that are responsible for the formation of #bone. They do this by modulating the composition of the #BoneMatrix, which is the material that makes up the bone. Osteoblasts deposit minerals, such as #calcium phosphate hydroxyapatite, in the matrix. This process is thought to be mediated by the release of matrix #vesicles, which are small fragments of the cell membrane.
