Lecture of Prof. Quaglino who is a world-expert in the Ectopic Calcification pathophysiology.
During this event, she will discuss the contribution of matrix molecules, cell-matrix interactions and matrix degradation, how the mineralised environment interacts with cellular metabolic changes - altered balance between pro and anti-calcifying factors, oxidative stress, mitochondrial structure and bioenergetics and cell death - and how influencing these processes can halt the occurrence of EC.
