An unusual membrane-bound body in rat periosteal cells.
Cytoplasmic inclusions have been found in both normal and stimulated rat periosteal cells. These inclusions are bounded by a pentilaminar membrane similar to a tight junction and contain a core of granular material. The origin and function of this inclusion are unknown.
