BACKGROUND: Across the last decade, healthcare emerged as a critical space for combatting modern slavery. Accurate and informative training of healthcare professionals is, therefore, essential. In the UK, the National Health...

Vascular smooth muscle cell phenotypic switching and plaque stability
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play important and varied roles in the development and progression of atherosclerosis. VSMCs form the medial layer of arteries where they maintain vessel tone via their contractile function....

Dairy consumption, systolic blood pressure, and risk of hypertension
Objective To examine whether previous observed inverse associations of dairy intake with systolic blood pressure and risk of hypertension were causal.Design Mendelian randomization study using the single nucleotide polymorphism...

New law puts Bolivian biodiversity hotspot on road to deforestation.
In August 2017, the Bolivian government passed a contentious law downgrading the legal protection of the Isiboro-Sécure National Park and Indigenous Territory (TIPNIS, for its Spanish acronym), the ancestral homeland of four...

Bone biodeterioration-The effect of marine and terrestrial depositional environments on early diagenesis and bone bacterial community.
Bacteria play an important role in the degradation of bone material. However, much remains to be learnt about the structure of their communities in degrading bone, and how the depositional environment influences their diversity...

Vascular smooth muscle cells in atherosclerosis.
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are a major cell type present at all stages of an atherosclerotic plaque. According to the 'response to injury' and 'vulnerable plaque' hypotheses, contractile VSMCs recruited from the media...

Efficacy and limitations of senolysis in atherosclerosis.
AIMS: Traditional markers of cell senescence including p16, Lamin B1, and senescence-associated beta galactosidase (SAβG) suggest very high frequencies of senescent cells in atherosclerosis, while their removal via 'senolysis'...

The double-stranded DNA-binding proteins TEBP-1 and TEBP-2 form a telomeric complex with POT-1
Abstract: Telomeres are bound by dedicated proteins, which protect them from DNA damage and regulate telomere length homeostasis. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, a comprehensive understanding of the proteins interacting...

Telomere damage promotes vascular smooth muscle cell senescence and immune cell recruitment after vessel injury.
Accumulation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is a hallmark of multiple vascular pathologies, including following neointimal formation after injury and atherosclerosis. However, human VSMCs in advanced atherosclerotic...
