Lessons learnt from progressive vascular calcification in a renal transplant recipient
Indian Journal of Transplantation, 2022 Chronic kidney disease − mineral bone disorder is a common complication in patients with renal failure. Vascular calcification is the part of this clinical syndrome and progresses over the years.

Association of serum fetuin-A and biochemical parameters in hemodialysis patients. [PDF]
, 2014 Fetuin-A, a hepatic glycoprotein present in the circulation, is a potential inhibitor for systemic calcification. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the association between fetuin-A and other biochemical parameters as facilitator factors for ...

Liver kinase B1 inhibits smooth muscle calcification via high mobility group box 1
Redox Biology, 2021 Vascular calcification is a common pathological feature of atherosclerosis, chronic kidney disease, vascular injury, and aging. Liver kinase B1 (LKB1) plays pivotal roles in cellular processes such as apoptosis, metabolism, and cell cycle regulation.

The living aortic valve: From molecules to function. [PDF]
, 2014 The aortic valve lies in a unique hemodynamic environment, one characterized by a range of stresses (shear stress, bending forces, loading forces and strain) that vary in intensity and direction throughout the cardiac cycle.

Sclerostin: Another Vascular Calcification Inhibitor? [PDF]
The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2013 Sclerostin, a Wnt antagonist produced by osteocytes, regulates osteoblast activity and is a well-established key player in bone turnover. Recent data indicate that the Wnt pathway may also be involved in vascular calcification.The present study tests the hypothesis that serum sclerostin levels are associated with vascular calcification in patients with

Biological niches within human calcified aortic valves. Towards understanding of the pathological biomineralization process [PDF]
, 2015 Despite recent advances, mineralization site, its microarchitecture, and composition in calcific heart valve remain poorly understood. A multiscale investigation, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and ...

The emerging roles of irisin in vascular calcification
Frontiers in EndocrinologyVascular calcification is a common accompanying pathological change in many chronic diseases, which is caused by calcium deposition in the blood vessel wall and leads to abnormal blood vessel function.
