The morphology, growth and differentiation of [chick embryo] chondrocytes cultured on the chick embryo lens capsule were studied. When incubated in Eagle''s MEM [minimum essential medium] with fetal serum, chondrocytes on the surface of the lens capsule became flattened with extended pseudopodia, but most cells remained spherical on the surface of a plastic dish. The lens capsule promoted cellular flattening of chondrocytes. When grown in Ham''s F12 medium, flattening of cells on the lens capsule was greater and the cells developed the features of fibroblasts without any detectable characteristics of chondrocytes, although their growth rate was not enhanced. This inhibitory effect of the lens capsule on differentiation in this medium was reversed when the cells were separated from the lens capsule and grown on a plastic substrate.
