Can an algae by-product to help protect teeth?

Can an algae by-product be used in acidic drinks to help protect teeth? Research academics at the University of Wolverhampton have received funding from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) Algae-UK to investigate if a substance made by bacteria that could be used as an additive in acidic drinks can be created cheaper by using […]

Cardio fitness in childhood and atherosclerosis

The effect of metabolic syndrome traits on atherosclerosis can be reduced by increasing cardiorespiratory fitness already in childhood: The deleterious effects of metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors on arterial health can be reduced by increasing cardiorespiratory fitness already in childhood, a new study suggests. The study also found that the traditional way of investigating whether […]

Cytokine APRIL protects from atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease

Cytokine APRIL protects from atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: Heart attacks and strokes are the main causes of death and loss of productive years globally. These clinical complications are caused by atherosclerosis, which is a chronic disease that leads to the accumulation of LDL cholesterol and immune cells in the inner layer of arteries and thereby resulting […]
