Rat Osteoclasts

Research on the Rat Osteoclasts is essential to the study of Paget's disease of bone, osteopetrosis, rheumatoid arthritis bone erosion, and metastatic bone destruction. Bone marrow is a soft, spongy tissue found within the hollow spaces of bones (trabecular cavities of bones and the medullary cavities of long bones). It is composed of various types of cells and reticular connective tissue. Bone marrow is classified into red bone marrow and yellow bone marrow, and primarily functions in hematopoiesis, immune regulation, and nutrient storage. Red bone marrow is responsible for producing red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, while yellow bone marrow mainly consists of fat and can convert into red bone marrow under certain conditions to support hematopoiesis. The Rat Osteoclasts are to be used with Rat Osteoclast Medium (Cat. No. ACM0320). This product is intended for laboratory in vitro use only. It is not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical applications.
