However, the onset of symptoms such as brain fog, fatigue, headache, and other types of pain is not unique to COVID...
by Vanderbilt University Medical Center Graphical Abstract. Credit: Diabetes Care (2023). DOI: 10.2337/dc23-1681A multicenter, longitudinal study, co-led by investigators at the Vanderbilt Diabetes Research and Training Center (DRTC), has discovered that a small pancreas size predicts a faster progression to stage 3 type 1 diabetes (T1D), the point at which clinical diagnosis occurs. The team also...
by Uppsala University Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public DomainUsing the results of a standard blood test and an online tool, you can find out if you are at increased risk of having a heart attack within six months. The tool has been developed by a research group at Uppsala University in the hope of increasing patients’ motivation to...
by Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public DomainHypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and gestational diabetes (GDM) are two of the most common pregnancy complications and put pregnant people at increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease later in life. Now, in a new study to be presented today at the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine’s (SMFM) annual...

by University of Birmingham A, lead II ECG recordings from an unaffected individual (control) and a non-definite and definite ARVC patient. Individual cardiac cycles over a duration of 10 s (gray traces) are overlaid by detected R waves and averaged (black trace). The PR interval (blue), P wave duration (orange) and P wave area (green) are...

DOI: 10.1038/s43018-024-00727-yA new, cutting-edge study from the University of Ottawa (uOttawa) has found vanoxerine, a drug initially developed for the treatment of cocaine addiction, could impede advanced colorectal cancer stem cells by essentially re-wiring critical gene networks. This new...
by Win Reynolds, Northwestern University Model for BCL6-mediated control of skeletal muscle proteostasis. BCL6-mediated transcriptional regulation controls the expression of atrogenic regulators to establish and maintain skeletal muscle mass. BCL6 directly represses Eif4ebp1 and possibly Mstn, while it directly activates Igf1 and Ar. Loss of Bcl6 in muscle acutely reduces cap-dependent translation and anabolic signaling, resulting...
