Two well-recognized patterns of calcification occur in large- and medium-sized arteries, intimal calcification associated with atherosclerosis and medial calcification described by Mönckeberg.

A new study from the University of Alabama at Birmingham addressing this mechanism has been selected as one of only two feature articles in the April 2026 issue of Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and ...

In this study, we investigated the role of hormones in the pathogenesis of calcifications in ovary and in endometrium and their neoplasms of the gynecologic tract and assessed the anatomic location ...

Mechanisms of heart-valve disease often mimic processes observed in embryonic and early childhood development, including activation of valvular interstitial cell (VIC) phenotypes and remodeling of ...

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 ...

Calcification is when calcium deposits form. This may be due to age. However, there are also links to infection, injury, or cancer. Calcium is one of the most abundant minerals in the body. It is ...

New evidence shows that extended estrogen suppression treatment using aromatase inhibitors for hormone receptor-positive postmenopausal breast cancer is safe; it does not increase the risk of coronary ...
