Gla-rich protein (GRP) as an early and novel marker of vascular calcification and kidney dysfunction in diabetic patients with CKD: a pilot cross-sectional study [PDF]
Vascular calcification (VC) is one of the strongest predictors of cardiovascular risk in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. New diagnostic/prognostic tools are required for early detection of VC allowing interventional strategies.

Coral bleaching events are increasing with such frequency and intensity that many of the world’s reef-building corals are in peril. Some corals appear to be more resilient after bleaching but the mechanisms underlying their ability to recover from ...

CALCIFICATION AND OSSIFICATION [PDF]
It is the merit of Jacques Loeb to have shown us the necessity of simplifying our methods of attacking biologic problems. Instead of investigating the effects of complex substances on still more complex living organisms, he took up the simplest things imaginable, the familiar inorganic salts, and for his living subject the least complex complete ...

A 58-year-old man presented with a slowly growing painless mass at the anterolateral aspect of his left lower leg. His past history included a severe neuro - vascular damage of the left lower leg, due to an accidental dynamite explosion 34 years previously. During surgery following the accident, he developed compartmental ischemia of the left lower leg.

Abstract One of the most fascinating aspects of mitochondria is their remarkable ability to accumulate and store large amounts of calcium in the presence of phosphate leading to mitochondrial calcification. In this paper, we briefly address the mechanisms that regulate mitochondrial calcium homeostasis followed by the extensive

The galectin-3/RAGE dyad modulates vascular osteogenesis in atherosclerosis [PDF]
Vascular calcification correlates with inflammation and plaque instability in a dual manner, depending on the spotty/granular (micro) or sheet-like/lamellated (macro) pattern of calcification.
