Abstract

This model is based on a hypothesis about the early separation of chondrogenic and non-chondrogenic subpopulations of cells in the limb bud (LB). It is proposed that there exists a morphogenetic mechanism leading to “packaging” of the chondrogenic subpopulation of cells into a properly arranged non-chondrogenic subpopulation of cells during the formation of every skeletal element, This model makes use of several facts and ideas discovered/proposed earlier.
