Abstract excerpt
Rat frontonasal and mandibular mesenchyme was isolated from day-12 1/2 (stage-22) rat embryos and cultured at high density for up to 12 days. The stage chosen was based on the observation that mandibular mesenchyme at this stage became independent of its epithelium with respect to the production of both cartilage and bone. Frontonasal cultures developed aggregates of anastomosing columns of cells within 2 days....
