Core Tip	We review state of art on active arterial calcification, introduce new insight in arterial osteoprogenitors (OPs) phenotypes and the concept of amitosis. Analysis of literature of all markers used to define mesenchymal stem cells and OPs revealed the evident incongruity between the actual studies: each research has its own panel of antigen markers. Still, osteocalcin resulted the most promising marker of resident and circulating OPs. A new technique allows maintaining DNA/RNA integrity in highly calcified or ectopic bone formation: new studies should consider this technique and the particular division of OPs to identify them.
