A method of maintaining bone and bone-forming cells in culture involves providing the cells, at the primary culture stage, with a long-acting source of ascorbate such as L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate. Preferably the cultured cells, at the first passage stage or subsequently, are introduced into the body as an allograft or an autograft or a xenograft, with the support of a biocompatible matrix or in the form of a suspension. |
