Role of Glycosylation in Vascular Calcification [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
Glycosylation is an important step in post-translational protein modification. Altered glycosylation results in an abnormality that causes diseases such as malignancy and cardiovascular diseases. Recent emerging evidence highlights the importance of glycosylation in vascular calcification.

Shifting osteogenesis in vascular calcification [PDF]

JCI Insight, 2021
Transitions between cell fates commonly occur in development and disease. However, reversing an unwanted cell transition in order to treat disease remains an unexplored area.

Signalling pathways and vascular calcification

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2011
Vascular calcification is a major risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. A full understanding of the signalling pathways mediating vascular calcification is crucial not just because of the importance of this pathology in disease, but also for exploring potential therapeutic targets.

Peripheral Vascular Calcification. [PDF]

Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol
Peripheral artery disease commonly refers to diffuse atherothrombotic disease of the arteries supplying the legs. Peripheral artery disease has been relatively understudied and has not been subject to the same intensive scrutiny and research that characterizes coronary artery disease.

Calcification and photosynthesis in montipora sp. (cnidaria) and corallina officinalis (rhodophyceae) [PDF]

, 2006
PhDOver half of the world's calcification is carried out by algae or by organisms which harbour them, such as coccol ithoph ores, foraminiferans, coralline seaweeds and reef-building corals.

The Thermodynamics of Medial Vascular Calcification [PDF]

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Medial vascular calcification (MVC) is a degenerative process that involves the deposition of calcium in the arteries, with a high prevalence in chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetes, and aging. Calcification is the process of precipitation largely of calcium phosphate, governed by the laws of thermodynamics that should be acknowledged in studies of ...

Osteoporosis and vascular calcifications

Endocrine Connections, 2023
In post-menopausal women, aged individuals, and patients with diabetes mellitus or chronic renal disease, bone mineral density (BMD) decreases while the vasculature accumulates arterial calcifications (ACs). AC can be found in the tunica intima and/or in the tunica media.

Calcimimetics and Vascular Calcification. [PDF]

Toxins (Basel)
In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), cardiovascular events (CVA) are the main cause of morbidity and mortality. Vascular calcification, linked to bone mineral metabolism disorders such as elevated serum phosphate, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and FGF23, well-known uremic toxins, aggravate this risk.

The role of mitochondria in vascular calcification [PDF]

Journal of Translational Internal Medicine, 2020
Abstract Vascular calcification (VC) was defined as the ectopic deposition of calcium–phosphorus complexes on the blood vessel walls. It was a process involving multiple factors and mechanisms, covering the phenotype transition of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and release of microvesicles.

Dietary magnesium supplementation inhibits abdominal vascular calcification in an experimental animal model of chronic kidney disease [PDF]

, 2022
BACKGROUND: Vascular calcification is a key process involved in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Magnesium supplementation may counteract vascular calcification.
