was shown to have a statistically significant difference between patients with calcification and non-calcified groups. In terms of OCT findings, the calcified group showed a greater proportion of ...
Results We found that OA progressed by both top-down calcification at the joint surface and bottom-up calcification at the osteochondral interface. The top-down calcification process started with ...
Vascular calcification is a detrimental aging pathology markedly accelerated in patients with chronic kidney disease. Prelamin A is a biomarker of vascular smooth muscle cell aging that accelerates ...

Using lineage tracing, we find that tissue-resident red pulp macrophages (RPM), initially depleted by BCG exposure, are restored from both tissue-trained, self-renewing macrophages and from bone ...
Objective To investigate the associations between a comprehensive set of retinal vascular parameters and incident stroke to unveil new associations and explore its predictive power for stroke risk.
Capillary malformation (CM) is a type of vascular anomaly, which is an anomaly or disorder of the vascular system, either in veins or arteries. CMs are commonly known as port wine stains. They look ...
This work indicates that the atheroprotective effects of metformin may be directly on plaque macrophages rather than via hypoglycemia. The logical next step would be a clinical trial of metformin in ...
