Dynamics of Biomineralization in Sea Urchin Primary Mesenchyme Cells

Description:

Sea urchins are virtuosi of biomineralization, the process by which organisms build mineralized tissues. The embryonic animal exemplifies this with the formation of its endoskeletal spicule. The primary mesenchyme cells (PMCs) undertake spicule synthesis, which involves deposition of the initial granule, elongation of the spicule, and several choreographed changes...
