Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Psalm 139:14 NLT
The more researchers continue to study the human body, the
more they realize the organ systems are intrinsically linked through
molecular conversations through receptors, signaling molecules, and
transcriptional cascades.
The intricate molecular language of biochemistry is elegant and reflects the unapproachable wisdom of our Creator.
They have documented chemical conversations between bones and the
kidneys, fat cells, muscle, the brain, and even the gut microbiome.
There are three main cell types within bone: osteoblasts, osteoclasts,
and osteocytes.
Osteoblasts build bone, while osteoclasts dismantle
bone. Osteoblasts and osteoclasts are what enables bone to grow, heal,
and reshape itself to suit the body’s needs.
Osteocytes comprise roughly 90% of bone tissue.
Many evolutionists formerly thought osteocytes “were just kind of
there, not doing much,” or are at the very most only regulating bone
remodeling.
----Cell biologist Lynda Bonewald chose to study osteocytes
against 
her colleagues’ advice to “not waste her time.”
She discovered
the important conversations osteocytes have with the rest of the body.
----The first chemical conversation Bonewald deciphered was between
osteocytes and the kidneys. Osteocytes produce growth factor FGF23, a
recently discovered compound that helps control phosphate levels.
Researchers have discovered that FGF23 affects the secretion of the
parathyroid hormone (PTH). PTH ultimately prompts osteoclasts to
reabsorb bone.
The intricacy and complexity of the human body reminds us that we are
not here because of a cosmic accident, but were intelligently designed
by our Creator with purpose."
