[Formation of bone tissue by mouse bone marrow cell suspensions in organ culture]

Adult mouse bone marrow cell suspensions prepared by trypsinization were cultivated in gelatin sponges on millipore filters. When HAWP filters were used, multilayer bone structure was formed. It contained mineralized ground substance, incorporated bone cells and osteoblast layer. With the use of AUFS filters, bone tissue developed not only on the top surface, but also inside the filter.
