Calcifying nanoparticles promote mineralization in vascular smooth muscle cells: implications for atherosclerosis

BACKGROUND: Nano-sized complexes of calcium phosphate mineral and proteins (calcifying nanoparticles [CNPs]) serve as mineral chaperones. Thus, CNPs may be both a result and cause of soft tissue calcification processes. This study determined if CNPs could augment calcification of arterial vascular s...
