N-acetylcysteine (NAC) differentially affects arterial medial calcification and bone formation: the role of L-cysteine and hydrogen sulphide (2021)
Journal Article
Orriss, I., Bourne, L. E., Patel, J. J., Davies, B. K., Neven, E., Verhulst, A., D'Haese, P. C., PD Wheeler-Jones, C., & Orriss, I. R. (in press). N-acetylcysteine (NAC) differentially affects arterial medial calcification and bone formation: the role of L-cysteine and hydrogen sulphide. Journal of Cellular Physiology, https://doi.org/10.1002/jcp.30605

Arterial medial calcification (AMC) is the deposition of calcium phosphate in the arteries. AMC is widely thought to share similarities with physiological bone formation; however, emerging evidence suggests several key differences between these proce...

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, -. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms22031076

Patients harbouring mutations in genes encoding C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP; NPPC) or its receptor guanylyl cyclase B (GC-B, NPR2) suffer from severe growth phenotypes; loss-of-function mutations cause achondroplasia, whereas gain-of-function mut...
