Alien invasion!!! 👾 👽 Under in vitro culture, a #human #mesenchymal #stemcell crawls into an #osteocyte lacuna (http://bit.ly/Osteocyte) at the #bone surface, observed by scanning #electron #microscopy 🔬 🦴 Forget shape-memory #alloys! #Cells remember! (Arrowheads = bone #mineral)

Here's a transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image of #bone showing mineralized #collagen and an #osteocyte lacuna containing microcalcifications of #apatite and #whitlockite.
Such #calcification or #mineral formation is part of normal physiological processes such as #apoptosis but can also indicate #pathology.
The specimen was prepared using focussed ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM).

Octacalcium phosphate (OCP) is thought to be a precursor of the #apatite #biomineral that is found in #bone and #teeth, and is also detected in various pathological calcifications. Under appropriate conditions, OCP transforms to hydroxy(l)apatite.
