X-ray Micro-Computed Tomography: An Emerging Technology to Analyze Vascular Calcification in Animal Models (2020)
Journal Article

Vascular calcification describes the formation of mineralized tissue within the blood vessel wall, and it is highly associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease, diabetes, and atherosclerosi...

Loss of PKCα increases arterial medial calcification in a uremic mouse model of chronic kidney disease (2020)
Preprint / Working Paper

Arterial medial calcification is an independent risk factor for mortality in chronic kidney disease. We previously reported that knock-down of PKCα expression increases high phosphate-induced mineral deposition by vascular smooth muscle cells in vitr...
