Role of matrix vesicles and crystal ghosts in bio-mineralization

• Matrix vesicles (MVs) are extracellular membrane-bound vesicles of about similar to 50-200 nm in diameter that play a role in the bio-mineralization process of hard tissue formation. The present review is based on the empirical phenomenon of primary mineralization process via matrix vesicle-mediated mechanism with special reference to crystal ghosts as well as the mechanism on the organic-inorganic relationship between matrix vesicles and crystal ghosts, and the transformation that these structures undergo during bio-mineralization.
