Metabolic-immune interaction appears to be the cause of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

The dominant form of heart failure worldwide appears to be caused by a strong, bidirectional interaction between the body's response to metabolic stress and the immune system, according to a review article written by UT Southwestern researchers and colleagues.

SARS-CoV-2 is evolving adaptively in multiple regions of the genome

Scientists from the United States have recently assessed the evolutionary success of mutations accumulated across severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) genome. They have observed that the positively-selected mutations in the viral spike S1 subunit are primarily responsible for adaptive evolution. This indicates that the virus may undergo antigenic drift.

Men with RED-S have lower testosterone levels, poor bone health and low resting metabolism

"RED-S syndrome is characterized by low energy availability. This happens when athletes eat too little compared with the energy they expend when exercising.

Researchers aim to study the underlying pathophysiology of diastolic heart failure

Of the estimated five million patients in the U.S. diagnosed with heart failure annually, nearly half will have heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Also known as diastolic heart failure, HFpEF occurs when the heart's lower left chamber loses its ability to relax and fill up with enough blood in between in each heartbeat.
