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 ...

A new study published suggests that the connection between coronary artery calcification—a measure of calcium buildup in the ...

An ongoing study spotlights the link between calcium deposits in the breast arteries and life-threatening heart risks.

Researchers at ETH Zurich and ETH spin-off Inositec have developed a new substance to prevent vascular calcification, which affects many patients suffering from chronic kidney disease. As their ...

In the hemodialysis population, cardiovascular calcifications result from excess phosphate and calcium, as well as reduced activity of inhibitors of calcification, such as matrix Gla protein. Vitamin ...

There may be relationships between bone mineral density at different body locations and cardiac calcification. Sex-specific differences may exist in these relationships. Further research is needed to ...

No medication is currently approved to treat vascular calcification in this population. Intravenous sodium thiosulfate (STS) may slow the progression of vascular calcification and arterial stiffness ...

Potent, selective ABCC6-targeting positive functional modulator (PFM) improved multiple markers of renal function in animal models of chronic kidney disease (CKD) PFM improved inorganic pyrophosphate ...
