Abstract excerpt
Bioactive glass reacts with body fluids and is gradually dissolved in tissues and in cell cultures. We investigated whether osteoclasts contribute to this process, by culturing newborn rat bone-marrow cells containing osteoclasts on polished bioactive glass plates (glass S53P4). The cultures were inspected at days 1-5 and stained for alkaline phosphatase (ALP) to demonstrate osteoblasts and for tartrate resistant...
