[Histonet] laser microdissection /rat bones

[Judy Strauss]

Hello Histonet,

One of our residents wants to study gene expression of primary osteoblasts
from rat long bones using laser dissection and microarray analysis.  Does
anyone in Histoland have experience with this type of animal model?

Any help will be gratefully accepted.  These techniques are so far outside
my area of expertise I do not even know what questions to ask.

Thanks,
