VASCULAR CALCIFICATION: FROM INNOCENT BYSTANDER TO CULPRIT RISK FACTOR

Artery Research, 2017
Vascular calcification was regarded as an innocent bystander in cardiovascular disease. It was considered to be the passive chemical nucleation of calcium and phosphate ions on cellular debris and therefore the end-stage of atherosclerosis.

Extraction of Vascular Wall in Carotid Ultrasound via a Novel Boundary-Delineation Network [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Ultrasound imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis of vascular lesions. Accurate segmentation of the vascular wall is important for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of vascular diseases. However, existing methods have inaccurate localization of the vascular wall boundary.

Osteoprotegerin, vascular calcification and atherosclerosis [PDF]

Atherosclerosis, 2009
The association of bone pathologies with atherosclerosis has stimulated the search for common mediators linking the skeletal and the vascular system. Since its initial discovery as a key regulator in bone metabolism, osteoprotegerin (OPG) has become the subject of intense interest for its role in vascular disease and calcification. Studies in vitro and

Novel Biologically Active Glass Fiber Functionalized Using Magnesium Phosphate Cement Promotes Bone and Vascular Regeneration

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
In this study, a new type of bioactive glass fiber ‐based composite magnesium phosphate bone cement is prepared and verified that its mechanical strength and biological properties. In addition, the cement may have played a biologically active role in the Notch and HIF signaling pathways.

Vascular Calcification: Current Genetics Underlying This Complex Phenomenon

Chinese Medical Journal, 2017
Objective: Vascular calcification is the consequence of the complex interaction between genetic, environmental, and vascular factors, which ultimately lead to the deposition of calcium in the tunica intima (atherosclerotic calcification) or tunica media (

Ucma/GRP inhibits phosphate-induced vascular smooth muscle cell calcification via SMAD-dependent BMP signalling [PDF]

, 2011
Vascular calcification (VC) is the process of deposition of calcium phosphate crystals in the blood vessel wall, with a central role for vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). VC is highly prevalent in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients and thought, in

3D Bioprinting of Thick Adipose Tissues with Integrated Vascular Hierarchies

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 12, March 18, 2025.
An advanced 3D bioprinting technique is used here to create thick adipose tissues with a central, vessel and extensive branching. The construct is made using alginate, gelatin and collagen‐based bioinks. Flow through the complex vessel network is demonstrated as well as its successful integration with a femoral artery following implantation in a rat ...

Lower Serum Irisin Levels Are Associated with Increased Vascular Calcification in Hemodialysis Patients

Kidney & Blood Pressure Research, 2018
Background/Aims: Vascular calcification, which involves an active cellular transformation of vascular smooth muscle cells into bone forming cells, is prevalent and predicts mortality in dialysis patients. Its mechanisms are complex and unclear.
