1 This tool is also responsive to interventions that attenuate frailty (eg, geroprotector drugs, nutritional supplements, exercise) and exacerbate frailty (eg, irradiation, high-fat diet, polypharmacy) in aging
The first step in using stemcellsfor disease treatment is to establish stem cell lines, which researchers have accomplished. Next, scientists must be able to turn on specific genes within the stem cells so that the stem cells will differentiate into any cell they wish. But scientists have not ...
(2024), point out that the results do not prove a link between microplastics and cardiovascular disease. They also cite several factors that – had they been accounted for - could have affected the study results. These include a patient's socioeconomic status, lifestyle patterns...
