Endochondral Osteoblasts (EFBs)


Bn.EFBs.EOCs

Osteoblasts are responsible for deposition of the mineralized bone matrix. Osteoblasts attach to the surface of the bone matrix, proliferate, and secrete type I collagen and bone-specific non-collagenous proteins such as osteocalcin. These proteins are crucial for mineralization of the bone matrix. 


Mineralized bone matrix is stained with alizarin red.
