Schematic representation of osteoblast-like cells derived from different origins mediating VC. There are various origins of osteoblast-like cells in the vasculature, including ECs, pericytes, VSMCs, CVCs, myofibroblasts, and circulating progenitor cells. They collaboratively participate in the initiation and development of VC in the media or intima. CVCs calcifying vascular cells, ECs endothelial cells, MSC mesenchymal stem cell, VC vascular calcification, VSMCs vascular smooth muscle cells
