Osteoprotegerin links bone metabolism to cardiovascular disease

by

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Osteoprotegerin (OPG), a glycoprotein in the tumor necrosis factor superfamily, regulates bone metabolism by suppressing the formation and activation of osteoclasts. Nonetheless, increasing evidence underscores its physiological importance, particularly in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Elevated OPG levels are associated with atherosclerosis, arterial calcification, and heart … Read more

Scientists uncover how a sugar shield in brain blood vessels protects against aging and disease
