It can be hard to motivate yourself to take preventative measures against heart attack, if you don’t know if you’re even at risk of having one. According to new research, however, a standard blood test can now provide that information.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Standard blood testing may provide warning of impending heart attack
Australian scientists have created the world’s smallest moustache, tiny enough to be modeled by a single red blood cell. Measuring just 5 microns wide, the micro-mo was designed to raise awareness for men’s health.

People with high blood pressure may soon be able to swap the daily pills for an injection every few months. A phase 2 clinical trial has shown that a drug called Zilebesiran can drastically reduce blood pressure for long periods of time with no side ef… Continue reading New drug given every few months reduces high blood pressure in trial
Researchers have identified a blood protein that can be used as a marker of gastric and other cancers and is more accurate than existing diagnostic biomarkers, even in the early stages of the disease. The simple test may lead to the earlier diagnosis o… Continue reading Gastric cancer biomarker nearly 90% accurate, even in early stages
Researchers have developed a quick, cheap, and highly sensitive blood test to detect a telltale protein produced by cancer cells. The test can pick up a range of cancers before symptoms appear and could be key to early diagnosis of the disease.Continue… Continue reading New quick, cheap blood test may detect cancer before symptoms appear
Researchers have developed a quick and simple blood test that, combined with existing diagnostic tools, improved the diagnosis of bipolar disorder, a condition commonly misdiagnosed as major depressive disorder. The test could ensure that people with b… Continue reading Quick, simple blood test takes the guesswork out of bipolar diagnosis
Researchers have found that red blood cells have an innate ability to trigger a pathway that protects the heart from injury during periods of low oxygen, such as during a heart attack. The effect was stronger in people fed a diet high in nitrates, foun… Continue reading Red blood cells trigger protective mechanism against heart damage
Researchers have discovered the way that red blood cell particles interact with white blood cells called macrophages to reduce inflammation and the formation of fatty deposits on arterial walls. They say their findings offer a potential treatment for t… Continue reading Red blood cell find could lead to treatment for arterial fat deposits
It’s not often that inflammation gets a good rap. It’s been linked to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and autoimmune diseases. But a new study may have uncovered a positive use for the body’s natural response to irritants. Researchers have found that … Continue reading Inflammation found to slow the progression of the malaria parasite
In a glimpse of what could become a future Black Mirror episode, scientists have hooked the circulatory systems of old mice to young mice, and found that it slows the aging process in the older animals and increases their lifespan by up to 10%.Continue… Continue reading Anti-aging benefits for old mice that surgically share blood with young
