AGEs-Induced Calcification and Apoptosis in Human Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Is Reversed by Inhibition of Autophagy

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
Vascular calcification (VC) in macrovascular and peripheral blood vessels is one of the main factors leading to diabetes mellitus (DM) and death. Apart from the induction of vascular calcification, advanced glycation end products (AGEs) have also been ...

High CO2 decreases the long-term resilience of the free-living coralline algae Phymatolithon lusitanicum [PDF]

, 2018
Maerl/rhodolith beds are protected habitats that may be affected by ocean acidification (OA), but it is still unclear how the availability of CO2 will affect the metabolism of these organisms.

Role of galectin-3 in bone cell differentiation, bone pathophysiology and vascular osteogenesis [PDF]

, 2017
Galectin-3 is expressed in various tissues, including the bone, where it is considered a marker of chondrogenic and osteogenic cell lineages. Galectin-3 protein was found to be increased in the differentiated chondrocytes of the metaphyseal plate ...

Using the Stable Isotopic Composition of Heliconoides inflatus Pteropod Shells to Determine Calcification Depth in the Cariaco Basin

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Pteropods have been hailed as the “canary in the coal mine” for ocean acidification, however, questions remain about their life history, habitat, and the environmental parameters that the isotopic composition of their shells reflect.

Seasonal photosynthesis, respiration, and calcification of a temperate Maërl bed in southern Portugal [PDF]

, 2020
Rhodolith (maerl) beds are biodiversity hotspots with a worldwide distribution. Maerl is the general term for free-living non-geniculate rhodoliths or coralline red algae. In southern Portugal, maerl beds are mainly composed of Phymatolithon lusitanicum,
