Ultrastructure of chromatin. II. Three-dimensional reconstruction of isolated fibers.
Electron-microscope tomography has been used to reconstruct isolated, negatively stained chromatin fibers from Necturus maculosus erythrocytes. Tilt series micrographs from +70 degrees to -70 degrees at 5 degrees intervals were obtained, allowing a reconstruction resolution of 3.3 nm for fibers lying parallel to the tilt axis. The fibers were found to be flattened in the plane of the carbon sup...
متن کاملTomographic three-dimensional reconstruction of cilia ultrastructure from thick sections.
We have applied a computer-based tomographic technique to reconstruct the three-dimensional ultrastructure of newt lung cilia. Epon-embedded samples were cut into 0.25-micron-thick sections that were imaged at 1 MV with a high-voltage electron microscope. For the reconstruction shown, a tilt series of 53 micrographs was taken at tilt angles between -54 degrees and +50 degrees. The reconstructio...
متن کاملThe Role of the Extracellular Matrix in Skeletal Muscle Development1
Skeletal muscle fibers are surrounded by an extracellular matrix. The extracellular matrix is composed of glycoproteins, collagen, and proteoglycans. Proteoglycans have been suggested to play an important functional role in tissue differentiation; however, an understanding of how the extracellular matrix affects skeletal muscle development and function is largely unknown. Proteoglycans can regu...
متن کاملChapter 13 Complexity of Extracellular Matrix and Skeletal Muscle Regeneration
Skeletal muscle regeneration occurs by the activation, proliferation and fusion of muscle precursor cells (myoblasts) that usually lie in a satellite cell position on the surface of the sarcolemma beneath the external lamina (basement membrane) of myofibres. Thus these myoblasts (satellite cells), as is the whole surface of the myfibre and the neuromuscular junctions (NMJ), are in intimate cont...
متن کاملBiologic scaffold composed of skeletal muscle extracellular matrix.
Biologic scaffolds prepared from the extracellular matrix (ECM) of decellularized mammalian tissues have been shown to facilitate constructive remodeling in injured tissues such as skeletal muscle, the esophagus, and lower urinary tract, among others. The ECM of every tissue has a unique composition and structure that likely has direct effects on the host response and it is plausible that ECM h...
