Cardiovascular disease begins early in the course of renal decline and is a life-limiting
problem in patients with CKD. The increased burden of cardiovascular disease is due, at …

Ageing is a potent, independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Calcification of the
vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) layer of the vessel media is a hallmark of vascular …

The polarizations of prompt J/ψ and ψ (2 S) mesons are measured in proton–proton
collisions at s= 7 TeV, using a dimuon data sample collected by the CMS experiment at the …

The formation of fetuin-A-containing calciprotein particles (CPP) may facilitate the clearance
of calcium phosphate nanocrystals from the extracellular fluid. These crystals may otherwise …

Mineralization in higher vertebrates is restricted to bones and teeth. Pathological
calcification is mostly known in vasculature but can basically affect all soft tissues. Simply …

Several clinical studies reported an increased prevalence and accelerated progression of
aortic valve calcification among patients with end-stage renal disease when compared with …

Vascular calcification is highly prevalent in end‐stage renal disease and independently
predictive of future cardiovascular events and mortality. C alcification can occur in both the …

Abstract Aim Fetuin‐A (F et‐A) is an important regulator of extracellular matrix
mineralization. F et‐A plays a critical role in the formation and stabilization of high molecular …

OBJECTIVE Fetuin-A, a hepatic secretory protein that simultaneously inhibits arterial
calcification and insulin action, is associated with type 2 diabetes, but its association with …

Background The development of atherosclerosis may be enhanced by iron accumulation in
macrophages. Hepcidin-25 is a key regulator of iron homeostasis, which downregulates the …
