[edit] Dec 20 rewrite

I know some parts are still lean but I plan to add more soon and redirect/move info in/out of stubs. --jag123 01:47, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Questioning the Doubled section

A question, why does this subsection about firbocartilage http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartilage#Fibrocartilage, and this subsection http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartilage#Fibrocartilage_2, have almost the same points rewritten?

I'd edit it myself but my knowledge on this subject isn't strong enough. -- Tylerttts 17:30 , 12 Jun 2005 (GMT)

I just stumbled on this duplication, too, which obviously has gone unnoticed (?) for over 9 (nine) months. I'll see if I find out about some central page "articles in need of brushing up" or some other to-do-list to draw the attention of a competent writer. — Nol Aders 09:20, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removed text

I may do some more research into this bit, but thought I'd remove it to here for discussion and safekeeping in case either is warranted.

"It has been said that the cartilage in ears and noses continues to grow in size throughout adult life; however, this seems to be an urban myth which is not substantiated by research. The cartilage in the ears and nose DO begin to grow with age as the production of sex hormones lowers."

[edit] Bit removed from article page

This was on the article page. I'm putting it here in case there's something to be done about it, 'though that seems unlikely.

Hi, I just wrote the German cartilage article and inserted a picture of chondrones which I wanted to insert here as well. But there is nothing concerning the cells. Maybe someone could add these information...
