Abstract:
The clinical significance of arterial calcification will continue to grow as the population ages. There is no appropriate animal model required to develop drugs to prevent vascular calcification. Several murine knockout models of some genes have led to new insights into the pathogenesis of arterial calcification. Good animal models can contribute to research progress in this area.
