Genesis and growth of extracellular-vesicle-derived microcalcification in atherosclerotic plaques

Clinical evidence links arterial calcification and cardiovascular risk. Finite-element modelling of the stress distribution within atherosclerotic plaques has suggested that subcellular microcalcifications in the fibrous cap may promote material failure of the plaque, but that large calcifications c...
