Bone and Soft Tissue Differentiation

Bone and soft tissue differentiation refers to how the body’s cells develop into distinct types of tissues. Bone cells become responsible for forming the rigid, supportive structure of the skeleton, providing strength and protection. Soft tissue cells develop into muscles, fat, skin, and other flexible tissues that support movement, protection, and vital functions. During development or healing, the body directs stem cells to become specific tissue types based on signals, ensuring that each tissue performs its unique role. Proper differentiation is essential for healthy growth, repair, and maintaining the body's complex architecture.
