Abstract: Dis Model Mech. 2018 Oct 1; 11(10): dmm035691.In brief: Generalized arterial calcification of infancy (GACI) is a severe, rare disease characterized by excessive calcification of large and medium sized arteries caused by homozygous loss-of-function mutations in ENPP1. Here, in Enpp1 deficient mice, treatment with recombinant hu...

Abstract: Nature. 2018 Sep;561(7722):195–200.In brief: This study used various cell-based methods and animal models to investigate the RANK-RANKL signaling pathway in bone homeostasis. The authors show for the first time, that reverse signaling exists from osteoclast to osteoblast and that vesicular RANK, secreted by the osteoclast, relays information to the osteoblast...

To read the full abstract: Sci Adv. 2018 Nov 14;4(11):eaar8173The discovery of a 31-kilometer-wide impact crater in northwest Greenland, beneath up to a kilometer of ice, implies an instantly vaporizing rock that sent shock waves across the Arctic. Its impact must have had a powerful effect on global climate; a thousand-year global cooling event.You may be...
