  Two common types of cells involved in cartilage growth; the undifferentiated perichondrial cells and chondrocytes. The perichondrial cells provide new external layers of cartilage matrix and are responsible for appositional growth. Chondrocytes proliferate to produce chondrogenic cells which generate a new interstitial cartilage matrix (interstitial cartilage growth). We previously described a third type of cartilage growth which is a mesenchymal cell-dependent type in the cartilage of the air breathing dendritic organ of catfish. The current study aimed to investigate this phenomenon using histochemical techniques, semi-thin sectioning, TEM and immunohistochemical staining. Typical mesenchymal cells penetrated the cartilage of the air breathing organ. Differentiating chondrogenic cells were detected adjacent to mesenchymal cells. Mesenchymal cells were continued with either the peric.. Read More»
