## Background: The adult mandibular condyle is reported to be covered by fibrocartilage that develops from growth cartilage present earlier in life. available data on the organization of condylar fibrocartilage are entirely descriptive or have been derived from young adult individuals. in order to
In a previous study (Luder, Anat. Rec., 1997;248:18-28), the articular tissue of the adult mandibular condyle was characterized semiquantitatively. However, questions about age changes of mature tissue were not answered, and the time course of tissue maturation from the end of condylar growth to the
## Abstract Electron microscopic autoradiographic observations on collagen fibrils grown __in vitro__ allow growth rates in the Nβ and Cβterminal directions to be measured on individual fibrils. Such observations, made on normal and iodinated collagen, show that normal fibrils grow at both ends (al
