Bone disc recommendations for osteoclast work?

27 October 2023 0 298 Report

Hello!

Does anyone have any recommendations for bone discs for looking at osteoclast activity?

We're considering these (https://www.idsplc.com/products/bone-slices-2/), but they are currently unavailable in the UK - open to other suggestions, ideally with papers showing the protocol.

Thanks in advance!
