Oxidative Stress is a condition in which antioxidant levels are lower than normal. Antioxidant levels are usually measured in blood plasma.

Smoking and HPV found to increase risk of head and neck cancer

Tobacco smoking and human papillomavirus (HPV) are both well-known risk factors for head and neck cancer, but there is ample evidence to show they can interact to increase still further the risk of contracting the disease, according to a study by scientists at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil and the University of Chile.

CRISPR/Cas9-based screening identifies potential therapies for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Activation of the NRF2 transcription factor shows promise as a potential treatment approach for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a condition associated with oxidative stress and liver damage. By screening FDA-approved drugs, researchers identified six compounds that enhanced NRF2 activity and demonstrated protective effects against oxidative stress and lipid accumulation.

New study uncovers effects of beer compound on cartilage cells in osteoarthritis

Formononetin (FNT), an isoflavonoid present in beer, was investigated for its effects on chondrocytes, the cells responsible for joint health. While low levels of FNT showed no harm and reduced inflammation, excessive exposure promoted catabolic responses, shedding light on the relationship between beer consumption and osteoarthritis risk.
