Background: A 71-year-old man presented with a slow-growing mass for the past 6 years in the right lower leg. He had a history of a motor vehicle accident as a 12-year-old boy, when a truck ran over his legs. He had already undergone a trans-tibial amputation of the left leg 24 years earlier.

A novel method for tracking structural changes in gels using widely accessible microcomputed tomography is presented and validated for various hydro‐, alco‐, and aerogels. The core idea of the method is to track positions of micrometer‐sized tracer particles entrapped in the gel and relate them to the density of the gel network.

Chondrocalcinosis is common in the absence of knee involvement [PDF]
Introduction: We aimed to describe the distribution of radiographic chondrocalcinosis (CC) and to examine whether metacarpophalangeal joint (MCPJ) calcification and CC at other joints occurs in the absence of knee involvement.

Background Clinical implications of different types of vascular calcification are poorly understood. The two most abundant forms of calcification, nodular and sheet calcification, have not been quantitatively analyzed in relation to the clinical ...

The formation of labyrinths, spots and stripe patterns in a biochemical approach to cardiovascular calcification [PDF]
Calcification and mineralization are fundamental physiological processes, yet the mechanisms of calcification, in trabecular bone and in calcified lesions in atherosclerotic calcification, are unclear. Recently, it was shown in in vitro experiments that vascular-derived mesenchymal stem cells can display self-organized calcified patterns.

Interleukin-18 enhances vascular calcification and osteogenic differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells through TRPM7 channel activation [PDF]
Objective—Vascular calcification (VC) is an important predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Osteogenic differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is a key mechanism of VC. Recent studies show that IL-18 (interleukin-18) favors

Association Between Homocysteine and Vascular Calcification Incidence, Prevalence, and Progression in the MESA Cohort. [PDF]
Background While elevated homocysteine has been associated with calcification in several studies, its importance as a cardiovascular risk factor remains unclear.

Influence of cell cycle phase on calcification in the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi [PDF]
Calcification of the cosmopolitan coccolithophore species Emiliania huxleyi was investigated in relation to the cell division cycle with the use of batch cultures.
