Abstract excerpt
In culture, chondrocytes of Meckel's cartilage can differentiate further to become bone-type collagen-synthesizing cells. Here, the replacement of type II collagen by type I collagen, accompanying expression of the osteocytic phenotype, was analysed by double immunofluorescence staining, histoche...
