This study shows that stacked human arterial endothelial cells can form atherosclerotic fatty streaks and release proinflammatory cytokines, offering a new mechanism for atherosclerosis initiation.

This study shows osteoblast-derived matrix vesicles (Ost-MVs) contribute to atherosclerotic calcification by being released into circulation and transported to plaques, where they exacerbate calcification through the Ras-Raf-ERK pathway.

This study shows Osterix maintains osteocytic dendrites and intercellular communication by regulating Connexin43, impacting bone homeostasis and disease.
