Kalcifikace
Kalcifikace is a biological process in which calcium salts, primarily calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate, are deposited in living tissues. This process is a normal part of the body's metabolism and is essential for various physiological functions. Calcification can occur in both hard and soft tissues, including bones, teeth, and blood vessels.
In hard tissues, calcification is a crucial step in the formation of bone and tooth enamel. It
In soft tissues, calcification can lead to the formation of calcified deposits, which can be benign or
The mechanisms underlying calcification are complex and involve the interaction of various cellular and molecular processes.
