| First the cells of interest will be isolated from the bone marrow biopsy and then subjected to a series of culture and analyses methods. The exact methods will depend on the research question. We will characterize the cells using FACS analyses and evaluate the capacity to form bone or cartilage using histology, mRNA and protein analyses. Furthermore the capacity of the cells to inhibit inflammation will be evaluated in the laboratory by bringing them in contact with immune cells. All research is aimed to find methods to improve the treatment of cartilage and bone defects. | — |
