摘要
Osteocytes are the main mechanosensory cells and the primary regulators of bone metabolic homeostasis. Here, we present a protocol for evaluating the effects of the large gradient high magnetic field (LG-HMF) on osteocyte function. We describe steps for establishing a corresponding cell culture system in the LG-HMF generated by a superconducting magnet. We then detail procedures for using this cell culture system to study the effects of magnetic forces on the structure and function of murine long bone osteocyte Y4 cells. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Zhang et al.1
