title: Differentiation of L6 myoblastic cells into chondrocytes.
abstract: Under the influence of demineralized bone pieces L6 cells differentiate into chondrocytes. The cartilage formed is identifiable histologically. The results demonstrate that these myoblastic cells, which are committed to produce muscle, may still be influenced to express another potentiality of their genome.
