Inflammatory diets raise dementia and Alzheimer's risk

This research study links higher Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) scores to an increased risk of developing dementia, specifically Alzheimer's disease. The findings suggest that anti-inflammatory diets may offer a preventive strategy for dementia, underlining the need for further research to validate these associations.

Unlocking ACE2: The enzyme that links COVID-19, heart disease, and diabetes

A recent study in the Journal of Biomedical Science examines the critical role of ACE2, an enzyme involved in blood volume and electrolyte balance, in chronic diseases like cardiovascular conditions, diabetes, and COVID-19. The research suggests that ACE2 could serve as both a disease severity biomarker and a therapeutic target.
