Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ectopic calcification of soft and hard tissues is a multifactorial disease with a complex etiopathology involving genetic factors, inflammation, and metabolic disorders. However, additional information is still needed to achieve more knowledge about the onset and progression of calcific processes and, hopefully, research is continuously on-going in this regard. The use of multidisciplinary approaches can allow calcific diseases to be viewed under different perspectives, which, taken together, may help move research “from bench to bedside” and overcome the paucity/absence of therapeutic strategies aimed at preventing or at least mitigating tissue calcification. So, in this Special Issue entitled “Calcification in Human Diseases: Pathological Aspects and Therapeutic Strategies”, research contributions exploring calcification-related human diseases at molecular, cellular, tissutal, and systemic levels are welcomed to soften a fairly hard matter.
