Vascular Calcification: Mechanisms, Models, and Therapies

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
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.

Magnetocardiography combined with machine learning for pulmonary hypertension detection and improved short‐term risk assessment

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Magnetocardiography (MCG) enables non‐invasive mapping of cardiac magnetic fields. In this study, an MCG‐based machine learning model detects pulmonary hypertension with robust performance. Furthermore, MCG features may improve the accuracy of short‐term risk assessment.

Biological and Biochemical Roles of Two Distinct Cyclic Dimeric Adenosine 3′,5′-Monophosphate- Associated Phosphodiesterases in Streptococcus mutans

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Cyclic dimeric adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate (c-di-AMP), a recently identified secondary messenger in bacteria, plays a role in several bacterial processes, including biofilm formation. It is enzymatically produced by diadenylate cyclase and cleaved by c-

Placenta‐derived extracellular vesicles: Signal messengers shuttling across the maternal‐fetal barrier

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
In normal pregnancy, PEVs help maintain maternal–fetal immune tolerance while enabling controlled immune activation, promote endothelial migration, and support trophoblast invasion and syncytialization, strengthening antimicrobial defense. In pregnancy‐related disorders, dysregulated PEV signaling may drive endothelial dysfunction and hypertension, BBB
