To determine if metal ions play a contributing role in loosening of orthopedic implants, the present work investigated whether sublethal concentrations of ions affect the formation and function of osteoclasts in vitro. Rat bone marrow cells were cultured on slices of devitalized bone and in the pres
## Abstract In vitro studies have shown that CD44 is involved in the fusion process of osteoclast precursor cells. Yet, in vivo studies do not support this, since an osteopetrotic phenotype has not been described for CD44 knockโout (CD44 k.o.) mice. This discrepancy may suggest that the role of CD4
