Omega-3 rich nourishments improve forecast in patients with myocardial dead tissue Kumar Jeetendra | October 27, 2020 A team of researchers from the Germans Trias I Pujol Hospital and Research Institute (IGTP) and the Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute (IMIM) has shown that regularly consuming foods full of omega-3 fatty acids, from the animal and vegetable roots, strengthens the heart’s membranes and helps improve the prognosis in the event of a …
Pancreatic β cell-inferred exosomal miR-29s control glucose homeostasis Kumar Jeetendra | January 24, 2021 In a new study published in Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Chen-Yu Zhang’s team at Nanjing University, School of Life Sciences, and Antonio Vidal-Puig’s group at University of Cambridge report that pancreatic β cells secrete miR-29 family members (miR-29s) via exosomes in reaction to high levels of free fatty acids (FFAs). Formerly, Chen-Yu Zhang’s team identified …
Hereditary components of human gut microbiota are key to wellbeing Kumar Jeetendra | February 6, 2021 Neanderthals’ gut microbiota already contained some beneficial micro-organisms that are also found within our own intestine. An international research group headed by the University of Bologna achieved this result by extracting and analyzing ancient DNA from 50,000-year-old fecal sediments sampled at the archaeological site of El Salt, near Alicante (Spain). Published in Communication Biology, their …
Altered lipids focus on the body’s endocannabinoid framework to control pain and inflammation Kumar Jeetendra | February 10, 2021 When modified using a process known as epoxidation, two naturally occurring lipids are converted to potent agents that target multiple cannabinoid receptors in neurons, interrupting pathways which promote inflammation and pain, researchers report. These modified compounds, called epo-NA5HT and epo-NADA, have much stronger effects than the molecules from which they are derived, which also modulate …
Unevenness in gut microbiota could assume a vital part in movement of inflammatory skin disorder Kumar Jeetendra | May 7, 2021 Findings presented at the EADV 2021 Spring Symposium imply that an imbalance in gut microbiota (dysbiosis), could play a substantial role in the progression of inflammatory skin disease, Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS). HS is a painful, long-term skin condition, with a chronic and relapsing nature that significantly impacts patients’ quality of life. Researchers at Hacettepe University …
