Core Mission

Musculoskeletal Cells Core (MCC) provides investigators with high quality primary cells (osteoblasts, bone marrow macrophages, chondrocytes and osteocytes), immortalized cell lines (Ocy454 and Ocy454-12H), and human musculoskeletal tissues. The Core offers both consultation and hand-on training on cell isolation and characterization.

The MCC has a repository of approximately 200 human specimens (whole bone marrow, hMSC and bone chips).
