"High blood pressure can damage the heart, leading to heart attacks, congestive heart failure, and fatty buildup in the arteries, causing them to harden. It also can contribute to stroke, kidney damage and vision loss, among other things," he said. According to Alisalad, hypertension can be...
Atherosclerosis is initiated by endothelial dysfunction and lipid accumulation in the vessel wall, resulting in the formation of fatty streak lesions [54]. Sometimes called hardening of the arteries, atherosclerosis can slowly narrow and harden the arteries throughout the body. Atherosclerosis is the pr...
An international report published 10 years ago indicated that PCP is the most common and serious pulmonary opportunistic infections in HIV infected patients. Now its incidence has dropped with the application of antiretroviral treatment and preventive measures. PCP will continue to occur initially in pat...
This hampers lung functioning that worsens with time. ILD occurs due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors, such as hazardous chemicals, cigarette smoke, and asbestos. When this occurs, the afflicted tissues harden and stiffen, resulting in: Dry cough Shortness of breath Exhaustion...
(nitrooxy)methyl]benzoyl]thio]-benzoic acid methyl ester: Nitric acid donor that relaxes human placental and uterine arteries; SWCNTs: Single wall carbon nanotubes; TEER: transepithelial electrical resistance: TEM: Transmission electron microscopy; TiO2: Titanium Dioxide; WST1: Cell proliferation assay;...
the normal cell turnover of organs. Whether or not adult kidney SCs exist has been an unsettled controversy to date, but current research has confirmed that the adult mammalian kidney contains multiple cells with self-renewability and differentiation potential, which are known as the renal stem/...
have found that injection with 5 × 107 iPSCs affected the smaller arteries of the kidneys with cellular emboli, leading to the reduction of blood reperfusion after ischemia. When carrying out cell therapy for treatment of AKI using iPSCs, the cell dose for transplantation and the ...
