Phosphate in Physiological and Pathological Mineralization: Important yet Often Unheeded
Phosphate serves as a building block for physiological mineralization, and as a signaling molecule that regulates the activity of mineralizing cells. The disturbance in these processes could induce a series of pathological mineralization, with abnormal mineralization of hard tissues and ectopic mineralization of soft tissues being the most ...

Prevalence of Crown Resorption in Amelogenesis Imperfecta due to Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa
ABSTRACT Introduction Junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB) is a rare genetic disease manifesting with skin and mucosal blistering. As part of the JEB, patients present with syndromic amelogenesis imperfecta (AI). Reports have described external crown resorption (ECR) in the teeth of patients with JEB, but its prevalence is unknown.

Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Oral Pyrophosphate in Systemic Sclerosis Patients—A Pilot Study
Objective Calcinosis is a manifestation of systemic sclerosis with a severe negative impact on quality of life. Efforts to find a treatment for calcinosis have been hindered by our limited understanding of the underlying pathomechanism. We propose that extracellular pyrophosphate deficiency may have a causal role in the formation of these mineralized ...
