Influence of osteogenic supplements on the osteoclastogenesis of human monocytes
A basic requirement for bone remodeling is the communication between bone forming osteoblasts and bone resorbing osteoclasts – the so-called cross talk. Corresponding in vitro co-culture models might be a valuable technique in order to investigate the influence of novel biomaterials on the cross talk. Assuming that both cell types are derived by precursor cells, the role of the common osteogenic...

In vitro proliferation of shoot regeneration from embryo of Cajanus cajan L. (var.LGG-29)
An efficient and direct shoot bud differentiation and multiple shoot induction from embryo explants of pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan L.) has been achieved. The frequency of shoot bud regeneration was influenced by the type of explant, genotype and concentrations of cytokinin. Explant embryo were cultured on Murashine and Skoog (MS) medium augmented with different concentrations of Benzyl amino purine (BAP). Among the...
