| Abstract |
|
|
|
| Bisphosphonates are inhibitors of bone resorption that are widely used to treat osteoporosis. Price and colleagues demonstrate that ibandronate suppressed the development of uremia-related vascular calcification in rats. These findings extend the link between bone remodeling and vascular calcification to the context of chronic renal failure, opening perspectives toward novel therapeutic strategies. | | |
