Elevated dietary magnesium during pregnancy and postnatal life prevents ectopic mineralization in Enpp1asj mice, a model for generalized arterial calcification of infancy. [PDF]
Generalized arterial calcification of infancy (GACI) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the ENPP1 gene. It is characterized by mineralization of the arterial blood vessels, often diagnosed prenatally, and associated with death in ...

Cardiac fibrosis in aging mice [PDF]
Dystrophic cardiac calcinosis (DCC), also called epicardial and myocardial fibrosis and mineralization, has been detected in mice of a number of laboratory inbred strains, most commonly C3H/HeJ and DBA/2J. In previous mouse breeding studies between these

Linear Focal Elastosis: A Peculiar Dermatosis
LFE confirmed by orcein stain showing fragmented elastic fibers within the reticular dermis. ABSTRACT Linear focal elastosis (LFE), also known as elastotic striae, is a rare cutaneous condition characterized by abnormal or increased deposition of elastic fibers in the dermis.

A case series of pseudoxanthoma elasticum-like disorders
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE)-like papillary dermal elastolysis and focal dermal elastosis are acquired noninflammatory elastic tissue disorders. The skin lesions clinically resemble PXE without systemic involvement.

Linear Focal Elastosis: What We Know From Epidemiological Studies
ABSTRACT Linear focal elastosis (LFE), characterised by horizontal streaks on the lower back, is a dermatological condition with unclear etiopathogenesis and limited epidemiological data. This study synthesises case reports to elucidate demographic patterns, clinical manifestations, and potential associations. A literature search across PubMed, Embase,
