Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
The ultrastructure and cytochemistry of skeleton formation sites prior to mineralization are described for the first time in echinoderms. These early sites are intracellular vacuoles located in syncytial pseudopodia of skeleteton-forming cells. They contain a mineralization organic matrix, which shows a calcium-binding ability and is framed in a tridimensional structure made of concentric layers bridged by radial threads. This organic matrix presents repetitive structures which could be implicated in mineralization control. Both the tridimensional organization of the organic matrix and its framing, before mineralization starts, question the current theories which suggest that the echinoderm organic matrix is soluble at the onset of mineralization and adsorbs on the forming crystal. |
