Observation of telocyte (TC) organelles by transmission electron microscopy. A. Representative image showing the general appearance of TCs. Scale bar: 10 µm. B. The major organelles within a TC are shown and labeled as follows: Nc, nucleus; m, mitochondria; rer, rough endoplasmic reticulum; Li, lipid particle. Scale bar: 2 µm. Multivesicular bodies are enclosed by black circles. C. Representative image of a TC actively secreting exosomes. Black arrows indicate exosomes and blue arrows indicate pits. Scale bar: 1 µm.
