Résumé : Posterior limbs from embryos and newborn mice were studied in a culture medium. One group was stimulated by an electromagnetic field, the contralateral limbs being a control. The main modifications observed in the stimulated group were: an increase of the thickness of the cortices, a decrease of the number of the germinative layers of the chondrocytes, a better alignment of the longitudinal columns and a different affinity of the cartilage matrix for the dye. These observations seem to confirm the hypothesis of activation by electromagnetic stimulation of potential functions of the cells without alteration of their specificity.
