Tritiated thymidine labeling of cells in the fibroarticular and chondrogenic zones of the mandibular condyle during early differentiation indicated independent proliferation in each zone. Cells of the cartilaginous zone, unlabeled during the two-hour post-thymidine interval, presumably arose by maturation from the cells of the chondrogenic zone.
