Clinical evidence has linked vascular calcification in advanced atherosclerotic plaques with overt cardiovascular disease and mortality. Bone resorbing monocyte-derived osteoclast-like cells are sparse in these plaques, indicating that their differentiation capability could be suppressed. Here, we seek to characterize the process of osteoclastogenesis by identifying novel regulators and pathways, with the aim of exploring possible strategies to reduce calcification.
