matrix vesicles

Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Encyclopedia.

matrix vesicles

hydroxyapatite-containing, membrane-enclosed vesicles secreted by odontoblasts, osteoblasts, and some chondrocytes; believed to serve as nucleation centers for the mineralization process in dentin, bone, and calcified cartilage.
