Chondroblasts, or perichondrial cells, is the name given to mesenchymal progenitor cells in situ which, from endochondral ossification, will form chondrocytes in the growing cartilage matrix. Another name for them is subchondral cortico-spongious progenitors. [1] They have euchromatic nuclei and stain by basic dyes.
Chondroblasts that develop from the perichondrium. Mechanism: Chondrocytes proliferate and lay down matrix. Chondroblasts differentiate into chondrocytes and lay down matrix. Site of expansion: From within. From the external surface of existing cartilage. Outcome: Increase in length. Increase in width and thickness.
The epiphyseal plate, epiphysial plate, physis, or growth plate is a hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis at each end of a long bone.It is the part of a long bone where new bone growth takes place; that is, the whole bone is alive, with maintenance remodeling throughout its existing bone tissue, but the growth plate is the place where the long bone grows longer (adds length).
In the deeper zones, chondrocytes form columns that are oriented perpendicular to the cartilage surface, along with the collagen fibers. Different behaviors may be exhibited by chondrocytes depending on their position within the different layers. In primary chondrocyte cultures, these zonal differences in synthetic properties may persist.
Despite the many advantages these therapies provide, "approximately 10% of individuals cannot benefit from modulators due to their genetic mutations or ability to tolerate the treatment," says Boyle.
When the gap between the bone ends is less than 0.01 mm, and interfragmentary strain is less than 2%, contact healing can occur. In this case, cutting cones, which consists of osteoclasts, form across the fracture lines, generating cavities at a rate of 50–100 μm/day.
NAD+ supplements, IV drips, and injections have gained a lot of traction on social media due to their supposed anti-aging benefits. Here, doctors reveals the truth behind the trend.
Chondroblastoma is a rare, benign, locally aggressive bone tumor that typically affects the epiphyses or apophyses of long bones. [1] [2] It is thought to arise from an outgrowth of immature cartilage cells (chondroblasts) from secondary ossification centers, originating from the epiphyseal plate or some remnant of it.
