ROS-Mediated Necroptosis Is Involved in Iron Overload-Induced Osteoblastic Cell Death

Typical TEM images of morphological ultrastructural changes in the osteoblastic cells. In the saline control group, the osteoblastic cells exhibited a normal cell morphology as manifested by intact plasma membrane and organelles. After exposure to 200 μM FAC for 120 h, the osteoblastic cells displayed typical necrotic ultrastructural changes including losing integrity of the plasma membrane, swelling of organelles, and eventually cellular lysis. and 2 μm.
