CHILDBIRTH CAN BE A VERY PAINFUL EXPERIENCE, often associated with feelings of
being out of control. It should not, therefore, be surprising that childbirth may be traumatic for …

Alteration in cytoskeletal organization appears to underlie mechanisms of gravity sensitivity
in space‐flown cells. Human T lymphoblastoid cells (Jurkat) were flown on the Space Shuttle …

The advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has significantly improved the
prognosis for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients, however the adverse side …

Patients with ESRD have a high circulating calcium (Ca)× phosphate (P) product and develop
extensive vascular calcification that may contribute to their high cardiovascular morbidity. …

Objective— Mineralization-regulating proteins are found deposited at sites of vascular
calcification. However, the relationship between the onset of calcification in vivo and the …

The flavonoids comprise a large class of low-molecular-weight plant metabolites ubiquitously
distributed in food plants. These dietary antioxidants exert significant antitumor, antiallergic…

Vascular calcification predicts an increased risk for cardiovascular events/mortality in
atherosclerosis, diabetes, and ESRD. Serum concentrations of α 2-Heremens-Schmid glycoprotein…

Rationale: Matrix vesicles (MVs) are specialized structures that initiate mineral nucleation
during physiological skeletogenesis. Similar vesicular structures are deposited at sites of …

Objective: To examine the relationship between serum perfluorooctanoate (PFOA), a biomarker
of ammonium perfluorooctanoate (APFO) exposure, and lipids and liver enzymes in a …

BACKGROUND Human and animal studies have suggested that diet‐derived flavonoids, in
particular quercetin may play a beneficial role by preventing or inhibiting oncogenesis, but …
