3-D osteoblast culture for biomaterials testing
Micromass cell cultures, osteomicrospheres, were formed by aggregation of primary osteoblasts. Cell differentiation during sphere formation and the integrity of the osteomicrospheres was evaluated by analyzing the immunohistochemical expression of osteonectin, osteocalcin, and collagen type I. Transmission electron microscopy facilitated the proof of the tissue-like microstructure inside the osteomicrospheres and the...
