People with end-stage renal disease and psoriasis do not have increased risk for heart attack

Studies have suggested that psoriasis is an independent risk factor for heart attack in the general population, but investigators have made the surprising finding that in people who also have end-stage renal disease, which shares many risk factors with heart disease, it is not.

Bioinformatics analysis of monkeypox virus-host cell interactions

A recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server reported the interaction between monkeypox and human cells. Molecular sequences were screened to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and their associated signal pathway, expression regulation, and metabolic pathways.

High immune protein levels predict both heart failure and death

For years, cardiologists have zeroed in on a hormone called BNP as a gold standard to determine if patients with heart failure are at risk of severe illness or death. It's released by the heart in response to when the cardiac tissue stretches due to pressure.

Study illuminates how pain neurons protect the gut from damage

Pain has been long recognized as one of evolution's most reliable tools to detect the presence of harm and signal that something is wrong - an alert system that tells us to pause and pay attention to our bodies.
