| |  Study reveals the significant and lasting impact of long COVID on children, emphasizing the protective role of vaccines and the increased risk of autoimmune disorders. | |
|
| |  Findings indicate smoking elevates stroke risk, particularly in older males with comorbidities, underscoring the need for targeted prevention strategies. | |
|
| |  Research explores the complexities of diagnosing and treating stiff-person syndrome, emphasizing the uncertain role of GAD antibodies and the promise of novel therapies. | |
|
| |  Higher adherence to the Mediterranean diet is associated with a reduced risk of COVID-19, but its effects on symptom severity are less certain due to mixed results and study limitations. | |
|
| |  Obesity is a key factor in cardiovascular disease, prompting the ESC to recommend comprehensive strategies for prevention and management to reduce health risks. | |
|
| |  A team of scientists studying cell division developed a special light microscopy system and used it to analyze the molecular density of cellular environments. Their results provide a novel insight into mitotic chromosome condensation in living human cells. | |
|
| |  Findings indicate that testosterone therapy in trans men alters immune system responses, suggesting implications for disease susceptibility and treatment. | |
|
| |  Salmonella typhimurium's infection mechanism involves gut bioelectric signals, influencing its localization and interactions within the intestinal environment. | |
|
| |  Researchers have discovered that DNA methylation is crucial for reprogramming astrocytes into stem cells in the adult mouse brain, especially after ischemic injury, with potential implications for regenerative medicine. | |
|
| |  An important DNA modification is methylation, or the addition of a methyl group to the 5th carbon of cytosine. This forms 5-methylcytosine (5mC), typically associated with repression of gene expression. | |
|
| |  A new tool for monitoring immune health patterns over time has revealed how a pair of checkpoint inhibitor therapies works together to recruit new cancer-fighting T cells with every infusion. | |
|
| |  The team at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin is astounded by the huge improvement seen in a female patient with severe systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) after being treated with the cancer medication teclistamab. Not long ago, the 23-year-old was wheelchair-bound due to the autoimmune disease. | |
|
| |  Researchers reveal that clonal hematopoiesis (CH) significantly increases the risk of developing femoral atherosclerosis, suggesting a unidirectional relationship independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors. | |
|
| |  Among patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery more than 1 year after coronary drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation, there was no difference with respect to ischaemic outcomes or major bleeding between perioperative aspirin monotherapy and receiving no antiplatelet therapy, according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2024. | |
|
| |  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. | |
