Arterial calcification is a gradual and progressive process that is seen in most people after the 6th decade of life. This results in a reduction of arterial elasticity and an increased propensity for ...

Real-time observation of certain biochemical processes in blood vessels from mice has revealed a previously unknown similarity between atherosclerosis, also known as vascular calcification, and bone ...

Bone never forms without vascular interactions. This simple statement of fact does not adequately reflect the physiological and pharmacological implications of the relationship. The vasculature is the ...

Most Americans have heard of vitamin D, calcium, and magnesium, but vitamin K2 remains largely unknown outside nutrition and ...

Vascular calcification, low bone mass and fragility fractures are all frequent age-dependent disorders. Recent clinical and experimental data suggest that vascular calcification and bone loss could ...

Breast calcification tissue may be removed and biopsied in order to rule out more serious pathologies such as cancer. Arterial calcifications, for example, in the coronary arteries, may be detected in ...

Researchers have succeeded in directly measuring three key parameters necessary for skeleton formation in a live tropical coral. This way, they completely characterized the carbonate chemistry at the ...

This impact of global climate change threatens the survival of calcifying species because of the reduced saturation of the carbonate minerals required for calcification. The ability to calcify arose ...
