flattened fibroblast-like phenotype on plastic substratum, OM
×250 . (b) Hyaluronan addition: chondrocytes grow more
three-dimensionally owing to less flattening. Cells are round,
with short processes, and are separated by many intercellular
spaces, OM ×330 . (c) Addition of sugar extract: cells
became rounded with short cellular processes, forming a compact
monolayer without intercellular spaces, OM ×350 . (d)
Addition of large protein extract: note cell-rounding, OM ×250 . (e) Addition of small protein extract: cells form very
small clusters with more intercellular spaces and the appearance
of flattened cells, OM ×110 . (f) Addition of small
protein extract: two different cell morphologies are observed,
one of flattened cells (asterisk) and one of widely separated
rounded or star-shaped cells with incipient three-dimensional
growth (arrows), OM ×350 .
