Meet the Professor

Paddy Ross

Osteoclast culture - techniques and applications

Topics to be covered

Methods for isolation of osteoclast precursors and use thereof to generate osteoclasts in vitro.

Methods for analysis of cytokine-stimulated osteoclast signaling.

Approaches to meaningful assay in vitro of osteoclast differentiation, morphology and function.

Use of retro- lenti- and adenoviral approaches to introduce proteins into osteoclasts and/or their precursors.
 

Educational Goals
