a Biopsy at 7 days from RME: detail of the tissue at very high magnification. Irregular osteocyte lacunae were interspersed with dark streaks; the tiny dust-like specks were distinct simultaneous loci of mineralization. Bar = 50 μm. b Biopsy at 30 days from RME: mosaic of five distinct SEM micrographs of an histological section. The suture, running left to right, was flanked on both sides by elongated streaks, perpendicular to the same suture, separated by empty spaces. Bar = 500 μm. Top-left inset: detail of the mineralized tissue at higher magnification, with irregular osteocyte lacunae. Bar = 200 μm
