Calcification - good or bad?
The human body is prone to calcify. Could it be of benefit?
We were unable to publish our thoughts as a peer reviewed article. Poorly written? Weak arguments? Too much consequences for medicine? Probably all true.
A decade of our own research, a century of scientific literature and many great discussions with Willem Mali, Daniel Bos and many others. Now open access at https://www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/13/19/5691

5 个月It is a intersting hypothesis. But the tendency to calcify (measured with calcification propensity test in serum) is in different studies associated with all-cause mortality and CV-mortality. The association is not U-shaped, which you would expect if a too-low tendency to calcify is also harmfull. See a.o.: Eelderink, ATVB 2020. What do you think of the T50 test as a proxy of tendency to calcify?
