Exosomes yield regenerative benefits equivalent to hiPSC-CCs, shows study

Science has long known that recovery from experimental heart attacks is improved by injection of a mixture of heart muscle cells, endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells, yet results have been limited by poor engraftment and retention, and researchers worry about potential tumorigenesis and heart arrhythmia.

Small for gestational age babies more likely to experience asymmetric growth

Carrying a fetus that is small for gestational age is associated with increased rates of stillbirth and neonatal death as well as metabolic disease in later life.

Research can help better manage body temperature regulation and hydration in older adults

Our ability to regulate body temperature and keep our bodies from becoming dehydrated declines as we get older. New research published today in The Journal of Physiology improves our understanding of the relation between temperature regulation and dehydration.

Blocking the self-destruction process of enzymes can mitigate age-related diseases

Stopping the cannibalistic behavior of a well-studied enzyme could be the key to new drugs to fight age-related diseases, according to a new study published online in Nature Cell Biology.

Genetic testing can identify 'concealed cardiomyopathies' in sudden cardiac arrest survivors

Centenary Institute researchers have discovered that genetic testing can identify ‘concealed cardiomyopathies’ in nearly a quarter of sudden cardiac arrest survivors who seem to have a normal heart.

Sleep apnea increases risk of severe COVID 19

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a respiratory disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. A subset of COVID-19 patients face a severe form of the disease with hospitalization, respiratory failure, or death. Severe COVID-19 is primarily characterized by respiratory distress, and the common risk factors are older age, obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and poor lung function.

Study reveals unexpected mechanisms involved in working memory

Working memory: it's how you make a mental shopping list without forgetting the milk, or memorize a number just long enough to write it down.

Excessive social media use during COVID-19 related to depression and secondary trauma

Can't stop checking social media for the latest COVID-19 health information? You might want to take a break, according to researchers at Penn State and Jinan University who discovered that excessive use of social media for COVID-19 health information is related to both depression and secondary trauma.

Intermittent fasting no better for weight loss than eating throughout the day, study finds

As more people become overweight and obese, diet crazes are becoming more popular than ever. One of the most popular diets today is intermittent fasting, an eating pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating. Previous studies have tied intermittent fasting to weight loss.

New artificial lung developed to support pre-term babies in respiratory distress

An international team led by current and former McMaster University researchers has developed an artificial lung to support pre-term and other newborn babies in respiratory distress.

SARS-CoV-2 infects human embryonic epithelial and lung cells

As COVID-19 continues to spread the world over, investigators are still trying to understand how it ravages the human body. A recent study published on the preprint server bioRxiv in September 2020 shows that the virus is capable of infecting human embryonic cells that are destined to form the epithelial surfaces of the body, both internal and external, as well as lung cells.

EPFL scientists measure the molecular footprint of aging

EPFL scientists have measured the molecular footprint that aging leaves on various mouse and human tissues. Using the data, they have identified likely regulators of this central process.

Study finds link between beta-blockers and survival outcomes in some breast cancer patients

New research led by Flinders University has found a link between beta-blockers and survival outcomes in some breast cancer patients.

Researchers identify cells responsible for cardiac damage repair after infarction

Researchers at Cima and the Clinica Universidad de Navarra (Spain) have led an international study identifying the cardiac cells responsible for repairing the damage to this organ after infarction.

Induction of acute senescence may be a necessary process in hemorrhagic shock

It's called senescence, when stressed cells can no longer divide to make new cells, and it's considered a factor in aging and in some diseases.

Cardiac arrhythmias linked to functional and structural consequences of gene mutations

Life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias can be linked to the functional and structural consequences of gene mutations. The study is published in the peer-reviewed journal Bioelectricity.

Study identifies thousands of deaths caused by heart disease and stroke during COVID-19 pandemic

A major new study has identified 2085 excess deaths in England and Wales due to heart disease and stroke during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. On average, that is 17 deaths each day over four months that probably could have been prevented.

Study: HRT prescription rates are lower in more deprived areas of England

Prescription rates for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) are lower in more deprived areas of England compared to affluent areas, a new study from the University of Warwick has found.
