Approximately 30% of the global population is affected by metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MASLD), a condition that previously lacked targeted treatments. Researchers have now identified a genetic factor that exacerbates the disease, and remarkably, the FDA-approved drug that most effectively targets this factor is vitamin B3.

Collectively, our work establishes the temporal landscape of stromal signals during leukaemia progression and identifies taurine as a key regulator of myeloid malignancies.

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is associated with high mortality and complications with no improvement in outcome over the 5‐year study with higher mortality in men. Further improvement in care is needed to improve outcomes.

Eating more minimally processed plant-based proteins – such as beans, nuts and lentils – may lower the risk for high blood pressure, according to new research.

The study, published recently in the Journal of the American Heart Association, also suggested that minimally processed animal proteins could be included in weekly meal plans without significantly affecting a person's high blood pressure risk.

Higher α-Klotho levels were associated with lower CMD prevalence, particularly in high-risk cardiovascular populations with lower socioeconomic status and unfavorable lifestyles and reduced all-cause mortality risk among CMD patients.

New research shows that even modest adherence to the Portfolio Diet, a plant-based cholesterol-lowering strategy, can significantly reduce cardiovascular risk factors in young adults and may postpone heart disease onset by more than a decade.

We might have another reason to enjoy our daily cup of tea or small piece of dark chocolate, as a new study from the University of Surrey has found that naturally occurring compounds called flavan-3-ols - found in cocoa, tea, apples and grapes - may improve blood pressure and the health of our blood vessels.

Even a small, easily implemented change towards a more plant-based diet may contribute to cardiovascular health at the population level. These findings support global strategies towards healthy and environmentally sustainable diets.
