Image analysis of electron micrographs relating to mineralization in calcifying cartilage: Theoretical considerations
Abstract
Biological mineralization kis a cell-mediated process which is believed to be triggered by a "nucleating agent." Various matrix structures, such as matrix vesicles, collagen fibrils and macromolecules, have been claimed to be the source of this substance, since these components have been found by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of thin sections to be associated with early mineral crystals. Systematic image analysis of the relationships …
