Clonal hematopoiesis drives femoral atherosclerosis in middle-aged adults

Researchers reveal that clonal hematopoiesis (CH) significantly increases the risk of developing femoral atherosclerosis, suggesting a unidirectional relationship independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors.

Dietary patterns like fasting and the Mediterranean diet unlock molecular secrets to healthy aging

Study reviews the molecular mechanisms by which caloric restriction, intermittent fasting, the Mediterranean diet, and the ketogenic diet promote healthy aging.

2 Sep 2024

Alternative splicing may influence gene expression more than protein diversity

Alternative splicing is a genetic process where different segments of genes are removed, and the remaining pieces are joined together during transcription to messenger RNA (mRNA).

Clonal hematopoiesis identified as new risk factor for atherosclerosis

To the known risk factors for cardiovascular disease - high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, overweight and obesity, smoking, and physical inactivity - a new one has to be added: clonal hematopoiesis.

Rare genetic mutation tied to increased risk of tuberculosis

Tuberculosis is a confounding scourge. It's the leading cause of death from infectious disease in the world, and yet it's estimated that those deaths represent perhaps 5% of infections with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb).
