[Quantitative detection of the differentiation processes of cartilage tissue].
The onset of ageing during childhood and adolescence is accompanied by a variety of differentiation processes, whereas ageing later in life is characterized by dysdifferentiation. One of the subjects in the present discussion is the "Dysdifferentiation hypothesis of ageing". So far differentiation has been described only in qualitative terms. The paper uses the example of hyaline cartilage development (chondrogenesis) to show that a quantitative approach to differentiation is possible, which at the same time enables random-critical study. The method used for this is stochastic geometry.
