The role of extracellular matrix phosphorylation on energy dissipation in bone
Protein phosphorylation, critical for cellular regulatory mechanisms, is implicated in various diseases. However, it remains unknown whether heterogeneity in phosphorylation of key structural proteins alters tissue integrity and organ function.

Osteopontin in Cancer: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Targets
Despite significant advances in the understanding of cancer biology, cancer is still a leading cause of death worldwide. Expression of the tumor microenvironment component, osteopontin, in tumor tissues, plasma, and serum, has been shown to be associated

Vascular calcification is widely regarded as merely a rare, end-stage, passive, degenerative, and inevitable process of aging. Decades ago, atherosclerosis had been similarly dismissed, but extensive research finally demonstrated its active regulation. Current research is now revising outdated views of vascular calcification.

Intraluminal application of vascular endothelial growth factor enhances healing of microvascular anastomosis in a rat model [PDF]
Background: Early reconstitution after injury to the endothelium is an important feature for reducing a number of vessel wall pathologies. We investigated the effect of vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) and its impact on the vascular remodeling ...

An antibody-free sample pretreatment method for osteopontin combined with MALDI-TOF MS/MS analysis.
Osteopontin is an osteoblast-secreted protein with an aspartic acid-rich, highly phosphorylated, and glycosylated structure. Osteopontin can easily bind to integrins, tumor cells, extracellular matrix and calcium, and is related to bone diseases, various

Osteopontin Activation and Microcalcification in Venous Grafts Can Be Modulated by Dexamethasone
Background: Osteopontin has been implicated in vascular calcification formation and vein graft intimal hyperplasia, and its expression can be triggered by pro-inflammatory activation of cells.
