Sphingosine 1-phosphate activation of ERM contributes to vascular calcification[S]

Sphingosine 1-phosphate activation of ERM contributes to vascular calcification[S]

Vascular calcification is the deposition of mineral in the artery wall by vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in response to pathological stimuli. The process is similar to bone formation and is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Given that ceramide and sphingosine 1-phosphate (...
