Realizing Bone-mass Generation Through a Density Type Theoretical Archetype

The dynamic process of the formation of bone-mass in case of humans is studied to gather precise understanding about the same with the motivation of applying these concepts for healing of bone-fracture and non-unions in non-invasive manner. Three cellular ingredients, osteoblasts, osteoclasts and osteocytes are predominant players in generating new bone-mass in which a host of hormones, proteins and minerals have potential supportive role. Considering population density of these three biological cells osteoblasts, osteoclasts and osteocytes as variables, we formulate a theoretical model, in the form of a set of time differential equations in order to emulate the dynamic process of bone-mass creation. High relative abundance of osteocytes at asymptotic scale together with moderate level values of osteoblasts and osteoclasts cell populations signifies formation of bone-matter in our theoretical archetype. The archetype has been studied through both analytical and numerical channels, significant results are emphasized and relevant conclusions are drawn. Certain predictive statements are also made which could be put to future in-vivo clinical test or invitro physiological experimentation as well.
