Scientists show how a common zero-calorie sweetener found in many diet drinks may harm the brain's vascular system by increasing oxidative stress and impairing vital blood vessel functions. Study: The ...

Erythritol may impair cellular functions essential to maintaining brain blood vessel health, according to researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder. Findings suggest that erythritol increases ...

Empagliflozin reduced proinflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress markers in INOCA patients with CMD, improving vascular health. Treatment led to favorable shifts in endothelial extracellular ...

A polygenic risk score (PRS) based on genes associated with endothelial cell function identifies patients at a higher risk of coronary artery disease, according to a new study. The risk score, which ...

Sepsis, a life-threatening systemic inflammatory response triggered by infection, has long challenged clinicians with its persistently high mortality (up to 40-50% in septic shock). At the heart of ...

The glycocalyx emerges as an active endothelial system whose structure, metabolism, and shear-dependent regulation integrate mechanical forces with vascular signaling. Disruption of this system ...

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a serious complication of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), ...
