Patients who experienced a serious heart attack were significantly more likely to have micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) in their blood compared to those with chronic ischemic heart disease or healthy coronary arteries, according to a study published in the European Heart Journal. Researchers from Sapienza University of Rome, the University of Verona, and the University … Read more
An international research team has mapped the cells and genes regulating bone formation and loss, identifying blood vessel cells as a driver of skeletal repair. Published in Nature Genetics, the study utilized genomic sequencing and data from 500,000 individuals to discover hundreds of previously unknown genes linked to bone health, offering new targets for treating … Read more
Beyond Presence: How a New “Immune Map” is Changing Cancer Prognostics For years, oncologists have viewed Tertiary Lymphoid Structures (TLSs)—the immune system’s local command centers—as a simple “yes or no” biomarker. If they were present, the patient generally fared better. If they were absent, the outlook was often grimmer. But a groundbreaking study from The … Read more
A New Frontier in Brain Health: Beyond Protein Clearance For decades, the search for treatments for Alzheimer’s, ALS, and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) has been dominated by a singular goal: clearing out toxic protein aggregates. Scientists have spent years trying to remove the “trash” from the brain, yet clinical success has remained frustratingly elusive. Researchers Now, … Read more
