Article: Studies from Nancy University have provided new data on life sciences.

Researchers detail in 'Age-related medial elastocalcinosis in arteries: mechanisms, animal models, and physiological consequences,' new data in life sciences. "With age, the calcium content of the arterial wall increases. Calcification occurs at two main levels: intimal plaques and the medial elastic fiber network," investigators in Nancy, France report (see also Life Sciences).

"The latter has been referred to as medial elastocalcinosis and is the subject of this review. The mechanisms involved in elastocalcinosis are complex and involve polar, apolar, and active processes. Vascular calcification may be species specific to humans. As laboratory animals, such as ...
