Popis: Translational studies to elucidate the response of immature bone to biologic and physical stimuli have been held back by the lack of a viable long-term functional bone explant model. This study attempts to bridge this gap between cell culture and animal model studies. In this study, we describe a methodology to derive a 300 μm organotypic femur slice comprising physiological zones (epiphysis and meta-diaphysis) essential for endochondral bone development. The unique capability of slice culture model incorporating enhanced nutrient access to distinct bone tissue components associated with linear bone growth facilitates the investigation of the orchestrated cellular transition of chondrogenic and osteogenic cells involved in endochondral bone development in an
