Vascular Calcification: Mechanisms, Models, and Therapies
ABSTRACT Vascular calcification represents an active multifactorial process that mirrors several key features of skeletal bone mineralization. Clinically, it is characterized by diminished arterial compliance and increased arterial wall stiffness, both of which serve as independent predictors of significant adverse cardiovascular events.

ABSTRACT Flow rates for applying nutrient solutions in hydroponic systems are empirically known, yet uncertainties remain regarding whether brackish water affects the optimal flow rate and, consequently, biomass production and allocation. This study evaluated whether variations in application flow rate affect coriander biomass when brackish water is ...

Similarity and substitution: Using pile sorting methods to explore economic behavior
Abstract Despite the common intuition that similar products are stronger demand substitutes, this study shows a more nuanced relationship between perceived similarity and utility substitution. Using pile sorting, a method where items are sorted into groups according to their similarity, we conduct large‐scale consumer surveys on purchasing 21 foods for

Immunomodulatory and Cytotoxic Properties of Enniatin B1 in Porcine Alveolar Macrophages
ABSTRACT This study investigates the immunomodulatory effects of Enniatin B1 (ENNB1), an emerging mycotoxin, on porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs), a species‐specific model relevant to human innate immunity. PAMs were exposed to increasing ENNB1 concentrations (0.5–6 μM) over 6, 24, and 48 h.
