Furthermore, the interplay between bone cells and angiogenesis, the process of forming new blood vessels, plays a critical role in maintaining bone health. Epigenetic factors have been found to regulate angiogenesis in bone tissue. Extracellular vesicles derived from different cell types, such as osteoblasts, endothelial cells, and mesenchymal stem cells, are also important in bone homeostasis.
