Several types of cells are involved in bone mineralization:
Osteoblasts: These cells are responsible for the production and secretion of the osteoid, which later mineralizes. Osteocytes: Once osteoblasts become embedded within the mineralized matrix, they differentiate into osteocytes, which help maintain the bone tissue. Osteoclasts: These are large, multinucleated cells that resorb bone tissue during the process of bone remodeling.
