Abstract excerpt
When present in the culture medium, chick serum (CKS) modulated the phenotypic change from chondrocytes of Meckel's cartilage to adipocytes in vitro, as revealed by light and electron microscopy, the incorporation of BrdU, and immunocytochemistry. CKS inhibited DNA synthesis in chondrocytes and the proliferation of these cells, while it facilitated the differentiation to adipocytes. CKS contributed to phenotypic...
