Hyperphosphorus is an important risk factor associated with VC in the general population and patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, there is still a lack of early biomarkers for hyperphosphorus induced VC. We established a calcific rat aorta vascular smooth muscle cells (RASMCs) model by stimulating with β ...[more]
