In turn, liver steatosis causes an overproduction of VLDL with a subsequent increase in circulating low-density lipoproteins (LDL) resulting in a higher risk of CVD. Additionally, the systemic MASLD associates with an increased blood pressure resulting in kidney failure and further increasing the CVD...
Swimming improves endurance. In one study of sedentary middle-aged men and women who did swim training for 12 weeks, maximal oxygen consumption improved by 10%, and stroke volume(the amount of blood pumped with each beat which indicatesheartstrength) improved by as much as 18%. Builds muscle ...

The proliferation of skin cells is triggered by inflammatory chemicals produced by specialized white blood cells called T-cells. Psoriasis commonly affects the skin of the elbows, knees, and scalp. The spectrum of this disease ranges from mild with limited involvement of small areas of skin to ...
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a type of blood cancer caused by abnormal activation of tyrosine kinases. The disease arises from the acquisition of the BCR-ABL fusion gene by a solitary, pluripotent, hematopoietic stem cell, leading to a proliferative advantage. Significantly, a recent study ...

White lupin (Lupinus albus L.) is an ancient grain legume that is still undergoing improvement of domestication traits, including vernalization-responsiveness, providing frost tolerance and preventing winter flowering in autumn-sowing agriculture, and ve
Fifteen distinct compounds coated alloy samples suitable for device application were exposed to either extracellular DNA or human peripheral whole blood, allowing for an in vitro comparison of their binding affinities to DNA versus blood elements. Functional bench tests, using an M1 occlusion model, we...
In the ongoing search for novel immunotherapies that might rival or surpass the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors, drugs targeting IDO1—a key enzyme in tryptophan metabolism—have been a major focus in recent years.
