This study identifies an early physiologic calcification process in mouse tracheal cartilage and reveals MGP deficiency causes additional mucosal calcification, explaining respiratory symptoms in Keutel syndrome.

The paper shows that arterial elastin abundance, not its origin, affects medial calcification in MGP-deficient mice, with reduced elastin delaying calcification and human elastin restoring it.

This study identifies GAS6 as a vitamin K-dependent osteoblast-secreted protein that regulates osteoclast maturation and bone mass in male mice.

This study shows that lack of plasma fibronectin improves insulin sensitivity and adipocyte differentiation in adipose tissue.

This study shows Pten and Dscam regulate amacrine cell spacing through endocytic trafficking of cell adhesion and signaling molecules, with altered extracellular vesicles and Wnt signaling in Pten mutants.
