Study Reveals New Mechanisms Behind Stroke Development

Discover the latest study uncovering new mechanisms behind stroke development, offering insights for more precise treatment methods and improved diagnostics. Researchers analyzed individual cells within arteries to understand how atherosclerosis contributes to strokes, identifying key gene expression patterns driving vascular cell transformation. These findings could lead to enhanced therapies and diagnostic tools for cardiovascular health.

Aerobic Exercise in Later Life Prevents Genomic Instability, Study Finds

Study from the University of Utah suggests that regular aerobic exercise in later life can prevent DNA damage and telomere dysfunction, potentially reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease-related mortality. The study, presented at the American Physiology Summit, highlights the positive impact of exercise on genomic stability and vascular health.
