Studies on experimental animals are aimed at understanding ways in which autogeneic or allogeneic adult stem cells can be used to regenerate damaged cardiovascular, neural, and musculoskeletal tissues in humans.
Guillermo Ameer (pictured left), an assistant professor of biomedical engineering at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, has spearheaded an effort to develop biomaterials designed to replace damaged cardiovascular and orthopedic tissues.
Obesity usually caused a variety of structural adaptations/alterations that could largely damage cardiovascular structure/function [ 1].
It is known that the common carotid artery enlarges & remodels in response to damaging cardiovascular risk factors [5] and that there is a strong correlation between carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and inter-adventitial common carotid artery diameter (ICCAD) [6].
If so, learning more about lncRNAs could offer a new approach to developing regenerative drugs for patients whose hearts have been damaged by cardiovascular disease or aging.
High blood pressure can put you at an increased risk of major illnesses including kidney damage, cardiovascular diseases and damaged sight.
Randomized trials of the effect of dietary salt intake reduction or increased potassium intake on blood pressure, target organ damage, cardiovascular disease, and mortality were included.
Since July 2016, contaminated tap water has put Pittsburgh's residents, especially children, at risk of neurological damage, cardiovascular issues, and other health problems.
Inability to secure the airway, with subsequent failure of oxygenation and ventilation is a life-threatening complication which if not immediately corrected leads to decreased oxygen content, brain damage, cardiovascular collapse, and death.
Elevated levels of reactive oxygen species play a major role in human disease by contributing to type 2 diabetes, ischemia/reperfusion damage, cardiovascular diseases, stroke, Alzheimer's disease as well as numerous neurodegenerative disorders and syndromes [1] [7].
Does positivity for IgG anti-apoA-1 early in the disease course predict subsequent damage, cardiovascular disease and/or mortality?
