Abstract excerpt
To investigate the influence of microvessel cells on osteoblasts, we exposed osteoblast-enriched cultures of rat calvarial cells to cultured endothelial cells and pericytes using feeder-layer co-cultures, co-culture dish inserts, and conditioned media experiments. When co-cultured with growth-arrested feeder-layers of endothelial cells or pericytes for 10 days, bone cell cultures showed an increase in cell number...
