Three-dimensional analysis of mineralizing turkey leg tendon: Matrix vesicle-collagen relationships
Abstract
The spatial and temporal relationships of mineral deposition between matrix vesicles and type I collagen fibrils have been studied in the turkey leg tendon by electron microscopy of cross sections and serial longitudinal thin sections and by electron tomography of longitudinal thick sections. Serial sectioning and electron tomography allow three-dimensional analysis of spatial relationships, overcoming the problems of missing depth information …
