A recent Brazilian study published in Nature Cardiovascular Research has highlighted promising pathways for preventing and treating atrial fibrillation, a condition that significantly raises the risks of stroke and dementia.

Our immune system is armed with an array of defenses designed to detect and eliminate harmful threats. One of its most powerful defense mechanisms is the complement system-a group of proteins that patrols our body, ever vigilant for signs of infection or injury

Pregnancy-related deaths in the U.S. have risen 140% over the past three decades with heart disease a major cause, according to the American Heart Association.

Professor Kwang-Hyun Cho's research team has recently been highlighted for their work on developing an original technology for cancer reversal treatment that does not kill cancer cells but only changes their characteristics to reverse them to a state similar to normal cells.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections in children under two years old, resulting in significant morbidity and a heavy economic burden on healthcare systems worldwide.

Testosterone worsens the damage caused by a heart attack by increasing the number of white blood cells released from the bone marrow.
