The presence of oxytalan fibres in normal and regenerating rat leptomeninx: an ultrastructural demonstration.
The present ultrastructural study demonstrates the presence of oxytalan fibres in normal and regenerating leptomeninges of adult albino rats. They appear as bundles of fibrils 10-15 nm thick without transverse striations, which frequently merge with collagen microfibrils.
