Alkaline Phosphatase Activity of Serum Affects Osteogenic Differentiation Cultures
4 Apr 2022
Abstract excerpt
Fetal bovine serum (FBS) is a widely used supplement in cell culture medium, despite its known variability in composition, which greatly affects cellular function and consequently the outcome of studies. In bone tissue engineering, the deposited mineralized matrix is one of the main outcome parameters, but using different brands of FBS can result in large variations. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is present in FBS....
