Mineralization from Bone Marrow Cells on a Biomimetic Nano-crystalline Apatite Coating: An SEM Study

摘要

Mineralization from rat bone marrow cells begins with the formation of apatite mineral on extracellular matrix attached to the BAp coating. This apatite mineral covers the BAp coating before the mineralization of extracellular matrix occurs. The subsequent mineralization of extracellular matrix leads to the formation of mineralized nodules that can be visualized using Von Kossa staining.
