Coupling of Calcium Homeostasis and Formation and Secretion of Matrix Vesicles: Their Role in the Mechanism of Biomineralization
2025-04-02
Abstract excerpt
The human bone is a dynamic, highly vascularized tissue composed of 60-70% minerals, which include mainly calcium phosphate (CaP) in the form of hydroxyapatite (HA) crystals, 30% organic matrix composed of type I collagen fibers and less than 5% of water and lipids. The crystals are formed inside the matrix vesicles (MVs) and are then released in the organic collagen based fibrous matrix. Extracellular matrix (ECM...
