Supervariate Gel Transforms into Various Biominerals in Salt Solutions
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 37, September 11, 2025.It is revealed that common calcium‐based biominerals can form from a stable, non‐toxic ‘supervariate’ gel. This tunable gel selectively yields calcite or hydroxyapatite in carbonate/phosphate solutions, while CaCl₂ facilitates the formation of dihydrate calcium pyrophosphate, which converts to hydroxyapatite upon drying. These findings provide insights

Circulating Fetuin‐A concentrations in rheumatic diseases: a systematic review and meta‐analysis
European Journal of Clinical Investigation, Volume 55, Issue 5, May 2025.In this systematic review with meta‐analysis, we identified 19 eligible studies to determine whether there is any change in Fetuin‐A (FtA) concentrations in patients with rheumatic diseases. We observed a significant decrease in FtA concentrations in RD patients (standardized mean difference, SMD = −.91; 95% CI −1.43 to −.39, p = .001).
