ABSTRACT
Bone marrow cells (BMCs) from rabbit femora and tibiae were grown in diffusion chambers implanted in rabbit muscle. At 42 days 80% of the BMC chambers exhibited cartilage formation within them. Demineralized bone matrix added to the marrow cell suspension in the chamber accelerated the appearance and increased the number of chambers with cartilage. Mineralization of the cartilage also occurred earlier in the chambers with bone matrix. In a second experiment, a 5-microA direct current cathode in the bone marrow chamber increased the number of chambers containing cartilage from 50 to 80% at day 25. Mineralization also occurred earlier in the chambers with direct current.
