The human skeleton undergoes constant remodeling throughout the lifetime. Processes occurring on microscopic and molecular scales degrade bone and replace it with new, fully functional tissue. Multiple bone remodeling events occur simultaneously, continuously and independently throughout the body, so that the entire skeleton is completely renewed about every ten years.Bone remodeling is performed by groups of cells called Bone Multicellular Units (BMU). BMUs consist of different cell types, some specialized in the resorption of old bone, others encharged with producing new bone to replace the former. These processes are tightly regulated so that the amount of new bone produced is in perfect equilibrium with that of old bone removed, thus maintaining bone microscopic structure.To date, many regulatory molecules involved in bone remodeling have been identified, but the precise mechanism of BMU operation remains to be fully elucidated. Given the complexity of the signaling pathways already known, one may question whether such complexity is an inherent requirement of the process or whether some subset of the multiple constituents could fulfill the essential role, leaving functional redundancy to serve an alternative safety role. We propose in this work a minimal model of BMU function that involves a limited number of signals able to account for fully functional BMU operation. Our main assumptions were i) at any given time, any cell within a BMU can select only one among a limited choice of decisions, i.e. divide, die, migrate or differentiate, ii) this decision is irreversibly determined by depletion of an appropriate internal inhibitor and iii) the dynamics of any such inhibitor are coupled to that of specific external mediators, such as hormones, cytokines, growth factors. It was thus shown that efficient BMU operation manifests as an emergent process, which results from the individual and collective decisions taken by cells within the BMU unit in the absence of any external planning.
