Phosphorylated pullulan promotes calcification during bone regeneration in the bone defects of rat tibiae

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023
The current study aimed to evaluate bone tissue regeneration using a combination of β-tricalcium phosphate (βTCP) and phosphorylated pullulan (PPL, a phosphate-rich polysaccharide polymer consisting of maltotriose units).

Reactive Oxygen-Forming Nox5 Links Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Phenotypic Switching and Extracellular Vesicle-Mediated Vascular Calcification

Circulation Research, 2020
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Rationale: Vascular calcification, the formation of calcium phosphate crystals in the vessel wall, is mediated by vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).

Calcific myonecrosis [PDF]

International Orthopaedics, 1999
Calcific myonecrosis is a rare and late sequela of compartment syndrome, which becomes symptomatic years after the initial trauma. We diagnosed this condition in a 64-year old man, 42 years after he sustained a shot-gun wound to the right lower leg.

Astrocytes are involved in the formation of corpora amylacea-like structures from neuronal debris in the CA1 region of the rat hippocampus after ischemia

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2023
Recently, we demonstrated that the corpora amylacea (CA), a glycoprotein-rich aggregate frequently found in aged brains, accumulates in the ischemic hippocampus and that osteopontin (OPN) mediates the entire process of CA formation. Therefore, this study

Fluid Flow Characteristics of Healthy and Calcified Aortic Valves Using Three-Dimensional Lagrangian Coherent Structures Analysis

Fluids, 2021
Aortic valve calcification is an important cardiovascular disorder that deteriorates the accurate functioning of the valve leaflets. The increasing stiffness due to the calcification prevents the complete closure of the valve and therefore leads to ...

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.

Research Models for Studying Vascular Calcification [PDF]

, 2020
Calcification of the vessel wall contributes to high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Vascular calcification (VC) is a systemic disease with multifaceted contributing and inhibiting factors in an actively regulated process.

osteoprotegerin-deficient mice develop early onset osteoporosis and arterial calcification.

Genes & Development, 1998
Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a secreted protein that inhibits osteoclast formation. In this study the physiological role of OPG is investigated by generating OPG-deficient mice.
