Abstract Matrix Gla protein (MGP) is a vitamin K-dependent post-translationally modified protein, highly expressed in vascular and cartilaginous tissues. It is a potent inhibitor of extracellular matrix mineralization. Biallelic loss-of-function vari

Aortic valve stenosis (AVS) is the most common cause of surgical valve replacement worldwide. The vasoactive peptide urotensin II (UII) is upregulated in atherosclerosis and several other cardiovascular diseases; however, its role in the pathogenesis

During medial calcification, calcium phosphate minerals deposit in the medial layer of arteries, causing their stiffening. Although elastin (ELN) has been shown to be the main site for mineral depo...

Aortic valve calcification leads to the deposition of calcium phosphate minerals in the extracellular matrix of the aortic valve leaflets. The mineral deposits can severely narrow the opening of the aortic valve, leading to aortic stenosis. There are

Deposition of calcium phosphate minerals on the elastin-rich medial layers of arteries can cause severe cardiovascular complications. There are no available treatments for medial calcification, and the mechanism of mineral formation on elastin layers

Medial calcification has been associated with diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and genetic disorders like pseudoxanthoma elasticum. Recently, we showed that genetic reduction of arterial elastin content reduces the severity of medial calcification i
