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 ...

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 ...

(CHICAGO) –Bone-like cells similar to the cells found in the skeleton calcify in the heart's aortic valve and are responsible for the blockages that lead to the need for open-heart surgery to replace ...

A new study published suggests that the connection between coronary artery calcification—a measure of calcium buildup in the arteries—and bone mineral density may be driven in part by shared genetic ...

Bone remodelling is a continuous metabolic process that mediates the breakdown and synthesis of bone matrix throughout life. This process is facilitated by three cell types, which reside in the bone ...

A new study has shown pollen grains can be used as green templates for producing biomaterials, showcasing their potential to support drug delivery and bone regeneration. With an increasingly aging ...
