Abstract excerpt
Sternal chondrocytes of 17-day-old chick embryos in serum-free agarose culture secrete transforming growth factor-beta. Media conditioned by such cells prevent serum-induced chondrocyte hypertrophy and cause a phenotypic modulation in serum-free culture which is similar to that observed for chondrocytes in monolayer culture. The modulated cells lose the round shape of differentiated chondrocytes and increasingly...
