Osteocyte Cell Viability

John Baker,
H & E staining will identify cell morphology and viability to some
degree although compromised by the decal process. The area of research
using an assay stain to differentiate live cells from dead cells by
labeling and determining metabolic activity of the cellular function
is in the literature. It does require access to a confocal laser
microscope with special filters. We are working with fresh, unfixed
cartilage. Consider checking some of the recent Arthroscopy and Bone
Journals.
