chondrification
(noun)
The process by which cartilage is formed from condensed mesenchyme tissue.
Examples of chondrification in the following topics:
-
Cartilage Growth
- Chondrification is the process by which cartilage is formed from condensed mesenchyme tissue.
- Chondrification (also known as chondrogenesis) is the process by which cartilage is formed from condensed mesenchyme tissue.
- During cartilage formation, undifferentiated MSCs are highly proliferative and form dense aggregates of chondrogenic cells at the center of chondrification.
-
Development of Joints
- Chondrification (also known as chondrogenesis) is the process by which cartilage is formed from condensed mesenchyme tissue, which differentiates into chondroblasts and begins secreting the molecules that form the extracellular matrix.
- Following the initial chondrification that occurs during embryogenesis, cartilage growth consists mostly of the development of immature cartilage to a more mature state.
