In Aging, researchers have described how the well-known supplement fisetin may fight calcification of the blood vessels, seeing significant successes in both cellular and mouse models. When calcium goes where it doesn't belong Calcification is not the same as 'hardening' of blood vessel walls (atherosclerosis), which occurs due to plaque deposits. Calcification occurs when phosphates...

Scientists have reported in Nature Aging that impaired mitochondrial uptake of calcium ions leads to changes in inflammatory responses that resemble what happens in aging [1]. Inflammation and aging Inflammation is an essential, evolutionarily conserved process and a fundamental part of the immune response, providing immediate defense against infections by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses,...
