I believe the answer is the osteoblasts cells. These are bone forming cells that synthesize the organic matter of the matrix and help the organic matter of the matrix and help mineralize the bone.

Stress and fractures stimulate accelerated mitosis of these cells and a rapid rise in the number of osteoblasts, which hen reinforce or rebuild the bone.
