Dissolution dominating calcification process in polar pteropods close to the point of aragonite undersaturation [PDF]

, 2014
Thecosome pteropods are abundant upper-ocean zooplankton that build aragonite shells. Ocean acidification results in the lowering of aragonite saturation levels in the surface layers, and several incubation studies have shown that rates of calcification ...

Role of smooth muscle cells in vascular calcification: implications in atherosclerosis and arterial stiffness

Cardiovascular Research, 2018
Vascular calcification is associated with a significant increase in all-cause mortality and atherosclerotic plaque rupture. Calcification has been determined to be an active process driven in part by vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC ...
