(Photo : pixabay) Cigarette smoking has been established as a major cause of lung disease deaths; now, there is growing evidence thatelectronic cigarettes may hurt the heart too. During the meeting of the American Heart Association, two separate studies have presented that show how e-cigarettes affect cholesterol and the body's ability to pump blood. In one study, the researchers from Boston University School of Medicine compared the cholesterol levels among four groups of adults: those who used e-cigarettes, those who smoked regular cigarettes, and those who used both products and the nonsmokers Continue reading →

The Cleveland Clinic announced on Tuesday morning, Nov. 19, that the National Institutes of Health has awarded more than $12 million to Clinic researchers to study the link between gut microbial pathways and the development of cardiometabolic diseases, which include cardiovascular conditions such as heart attack, stroke, hypertension and heart failure, and metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and obesity.

PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Inotrem S.A., a biotechnology company specializing in immunotherapy for acute inflammatory syndromes, through its knowledge of the TREM-1 pathway biology, announced today it has initiated its Phase IIb ASTONISH trial to evaluate nangibotide in the treatment of septic shock and has enrolled the first patient in the trial. Nangibotide is a TREM-1 inhibitor peptide with the potential to restore appropriate inflammatory response, vascular function, and improve post septic shock survival. Septic shock is the ultimate complication of sepsis Continue reading →

Researchers these days routinely use pluripotent stem cells to develop into specific tissue cells, and a variety of methods to coax those tissues to grow in Petri dishes into simple organoids. The goal, in many cases, is to grow realistic, complex organs that are not only excellent models for research but have the possibility of use for full-blown organ transplants. Continue reading →

An expert team of University of Florida scientists, surgeons, engineers and mathematicians have worked together over the last 10 years to lay the foundation for a systems biology approach to further our understanding of vascular remodeling and vein bypass graft failure. Prior strategies have focused largely on linear models to separately describe the physical or biologic components of vascular disease progression Continue reading →

Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use negatively impacts heart disease risk factors such as cholesterol, triglycerides and blood sugar levels, according to new research being presented at the American Heart Associations Scientific Sessions 2019 taking place November 16-18 in Philadelphia. The findings are based on two separate studies. Continue reading →
