This chapter elaborates on the state-of-the-art experimental procedures utilized in ex-vivo model systems of cancer-bone cell interactions under “static and dynamic” culture conditions and their potential use to understand cellular and molecular mechanisms as well as drug testing and discovery. An additional focus of this chapter is to provide details of how to incorporate varying oxygen tension, viz., hypoxic, normoxic, and hyperoxic, in such studies and regulate the bone biology toward dissociation of the bone remodeling stages to achieve only “bone resorption” or “bone formation” individually.
