C. Bone Applying concepts derived from our experience with chondrocytes, we began to transplant similar polymer matrices seeded with osteocytes or osteoblasts isolated from different sources. Initial efforts at harvesting osteocytes from cortical bone, via a series of enzymatic digestions, were not fruitful. We then began to use cells shed from first specimens of cortical or membranous bone, and finally from the periosteum stripped from cortical and membranous bone.
