MC3T3
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
MC3T3 is a strain of tissue culture cells derived from Mus musculus (mouse)
Various derivatives of this strain have been widely used as model systems in bone biology. A standard textbook calls its MC3T3-E1 sub-line "one of the most convenient and physiologically relevant systems for study of transcriptional control in calvarial osteoblasts." [1]
