Study shows how senescent cells can be an underlying cause of kidney damage

A study in mice by researchers at Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center has found that stress and tissue damage initiated by angiotensin II, a molecule that is known to increase blood pressure and stiffening in the linings of blood vessels, leads to cellular senescence, a process by which a cell ages and permanently stops dividing but does not die.

Study sheds light on Aβ deposition patterns in the brain from external sources

Alzheimer's disease (AD) involves the deposition of a protein called amyloid β protein (Aβ) in the brain. This protein can build up in both the functional tissues, or "parenchyma", of the brain, and in the blood vessels.

Novel protein regulator of tumor angiogenesis may be a therapeutic target for difficult-to-treat cancers

A novel protein regulator of tumor angiogenesis, TMEM230, was recently characterized by researchers to have a role in tumor development and vascularization, with potential as a target for anti-tumor therapy in difficult-to-treat cancers such as glioblastoma.

Study analyzes association between obesity and endothelial dysfunction in COVID-19 patients

In COVID-19 patients, obesity is the factor most associated with the development of endothelial dysfunction, a condition in which the blood vessels become unable to contract and relax adequately, increasing the risk of events such as heart attacks, thrombosis (blood clotting), and stroke.
