matrix vesicle release," Kidney International, vol.
In fact, recent research has shown that calcitriol accelerates
matrix vesicle formation in osteoblasts but only during the early phase of differentiation [23].
Notably, electron micrograph captures an osteoblast
matrix vesicle just as it initiated the exocytosis of hydroxyapatite (EDX spectrum).

Biomineralization and
matrix vesicles in biology and pathology.
Because calcifiable vesicles may have a role in plaque calcification (38), much work has been done on phospholipid vesicles as substitutes of
matrix vesicles in simulative biomineralization research.
