Probiotic Supplementation in Chronic Kidney Disease: Outcomes on Uremic Toxins, Inflammation, and Vascular Calcification from Experimental and Clinical Models

Toxins
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with gut microbiota alterations that contribute to increased inflammation and the generation of uremic toxins and may worsen the disease progression.

Circulating microRNAs and vascular calcification in hemodialysis patients

Journal of International Medical Research, 2019
Objective Vascular calcification is common in chronic dialysis patients and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. However, the role of circulating microRNAs (miRs) in vascular calcification has rarely been investigated.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Descending aortic calcification increases renal dysfunction and in-hospital mortality in cardiac surgery patients with intraaortic balloon pump counterpulsation placed perioperatively : a case control study [PDF]

, 2012
Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery increases length of hospital stay and in-hospital mortality. A significant number of patients undergoing cardiac surgical procedures require perioperative intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP ...

Seawater carbonate chemistry and coral calcification media pH [PDF]

, 2021
Ocean acidification typically reduces the calcification rates of massive Porites spp. corals, but increasing seawater temperatures (below the stress and bleaching threshold) can offset this effect.

CALCIFICATION AND OSSIFICATION [PDF]

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1911
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 ...

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.
