Similar results were reported by other authors [ 15 16 17 ] . These results demonstrate that the cultured rib chondrocytes behaved in a similar manner as chondrocytes in vivo . Taken together, primary rib chondrocytes from mouse neonates grown in micromass culture display cellular differentiation, proliferation, maturation and hypertrophy, recapitulating the chondrocyte maturation program in vivo . These results establish the utility of this in vitro system to investigate the role of Hox genes and other transcription factors in endochondral ossification.
To examine this function in more detail, we employed a culture system that facilitates chondrocyte maturation and cartilage formation, and closely recapitulates the in vivo situation [ 11 ] . The micromass system has been used extensively for studies of cartilage formation from limb mesenchyme [ 10 11 12 13 ] and also for culture of chondrocytes in high density [ 14 ] .
