Sheathing of collagen fibrils in human intervertebral discs.

RESUMO
In 25 human intervertebral discs studied by electron microscopy, sheathing collagen-like fibrils by electron-dense cylinders was observed. The sheaths consisted of layers of dense granules 3 to 12 times the diameter of the enclosed collagen-like fibrils, and they appeared to be more frequent in older discs.
