The vascular system is the body’s essential infrastructure for regeneration—delivering oxygen, nutrients, and signaling cues that coordinate tissue repair. Over time, however, this regenerative ...

Cardiovascular diseases are the most common cause of death worldwide. Even if known traditional risk factors such as diabetes or high blood pressure are treated, the disease worsens in half of all ...

Two new studies from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have investigated how mutations that occur in muscles and blood vessels over time can affect aging. The studies, which are published in Nature ...

The aging of the innermost cell layer of blood vessels leads to cardiovascular diseases. Researchers at UZH have now shown for the first time that intestinal bacteria and their metabolites contribute ...

Over half of the human body is not even human. Everyone carries almost 40 trillion bacterial cells, forming their microbiome, which play various roles in different organs, including affecting ...

A new study provided a comprehensive overview of the current state of metabolomics research in arterial stiffness on a less explored aspect—early vascular aging, particularly in adolescents, offering ...

"Our findings point to potential drug targets for slowing vascular aging, reducing the burden of cardiovascular diseases, and ultimately improving lifespan," Pigeyre says. The study drew on blood ...

Researchers discovered that Covid accelerates blood vessel aging by about five years, especially in women. Even mild infections increased arterial stiffness, with vaccinated individuals showing less ...

Researchers at Université Paris Cité in France conducted a study that suggests COVID-19 infections cause women's blood vessels to age prematurely. File Photo by Shou Sheng/EPA COVID-19 infection ...

A new study has revealed that even mild Covid can age your blood vessels by up to five years, increasing your long-term risk of heart disease, strokes and dementia. Known medically as vascular aging, ...

Compared with women who never got COVID-19, women who recovered from a mild case had “older,” stiffer, and less-efficient blood vessels. COVID infection didn’t seem to have an effect on blood vessel ...
