Abstract
This study provides newer information concerning the extracellular matrix of neonatal condylar cartilage-a genuine representative of a secondary type of cartilage, in addition, the data presented hereby indicate that the condylar cartilage contains a population of progenitor cells that synthesis type I collagen rather than type II. Under normal conditions in vivo local biomechanical factors influence the progenitor cells to differentiate into cartilage cells. In the absence of such biomechanical effects the condylar progenitor cells seem to proceed with their inherent differentiation pathway and express an osteogenic phenotype.This publication has 27 references indexed in Scilit:
