Cancer patients less likely to be prescribed cardioprotective medications
Cancer patients less likely to receive statins and antiplatelet therapies compared to cancer-free patients with similar CVD risk factors
Premature epigenomic aging acts like a ‘sleeper cell’ that is awaken by Western-style diet
The epigenome is sometimes referred to as the “software” or “operating system” of the genome. It comprises small chemical modifications to DNA and the proteins that make up our chromosomes, and controls the activity of all the genes within the…

Neuroscientists discover neural circuits that control hibernation-like behaviors in mice
Findings offer potential clues toward profound applications in humans, including suspended animation
Lack of mitochondria causes severe disease in children
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have discovered that excessive degradation of the power plants of our cells plays an important role in the onset of mitochondrial disease in children. These inherited metabolic disorders can have severe consequence such as…
