Abstract
The ossification process in OLF seems to involve chondrocyte differentiation under the unique expression of transcriptional factors. Accumulation of hypertrophic chondrocytes was evident around the calcified area at the ossification front, and we suggest that the differentiation of these cells seems to be concerned with the ossification process.
