Rat osteoblast differentiation medium

Manufactured by Cell Applications
Sourced in United States

Rat osteoblast differentiation medium is a cell culture medium designed to support the differentiation of rat osteoblasts, which are bone-forming cells. The medium provides the necessary nutrients and growth factors to promote the development of mature osteoblasts from progenitor cells.

Stem Cell-Assisted Furcation Lesion Repair in Rats

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Four groups of materials were used for animal transplantation in the treatment of furcation lesions in rats: T1 (DAM, only membrane), T2 (DAM+ASCs), T3 (DAM+ECM), and T4 (DAM+ECM+ASCs). ASCs 2.5 × 104 cells/cm2 were cultivated over the 8 mm diameter DAM disks and stretched onto 12-well plates. Four days before surgery, cells were associated with DAM in treatment groups T2 and T4. Preparation of DAM with ECM (T3 and T4) required cell culture and osteogenic differentiation in advance to simultaneously heal the different groups. Disks of DAM were associated initially with 2.5 × 104 cells/cm2 ASCs and a regular cell culture medium for cell proliferation. After cell semiconfluency observation, osteogenic differentiation of ASCs was induced with Rat Osteoblast Differentiation Medium (Cell Applications Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) for four weeks.
Cell and extracellular matrix distribution was observed after 2.5% glutaraldehyde fixation with histochemical staining with Giemsa and Alizarin red, respectively. Primary antibodies to Osteopontin (OPN, Rabbit polyclonal anti osteopontin ab8448, ABCAM, Cambridge, UK), followed by Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated secondary antibodies (Goat anti-rabbit IgG ab 150077, ABCAM, Cambridge, UK) were used for protein immunolabeling and Hoechst H3569 (Invitrogen, Eugene, OR, USA) for nuclear staining.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
