The effect of particle phagocytosis and metallic wear particles on osteoclast formation and bone resorption in vitro.
Osteoclasts are multinucleated bone-resorbing cells that are formed from precursors that circulate in the monocyte fraction. This study has determined the effect of phagocytosis of metal particles on osteoclast formation and bone resorption in vitro. Human peripheral blood monocytes were cocultured...
