In response to this challenge, Cameron Memorial Community Hospital in Angola, Indiana, recently made a heavy investment in the ultraviolet (UV-C) disinfecting robots. This action...
Graphical abstract. Credit: Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications (2022). DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2022.12.080 A team of undergraduate and also graduate chemistry students in Jennifer Hines' laboratory at Ohio University recently uncovered a current class of compounds that can target RNA and disrupt its function. This discovery determined a chemical scaffold that might ultimately be utilized in the development of...
In highly developed nations, Indigenous people may have a higher stroke rate, according to a new study highlighting a dire requirement for more information and adequately designed studies. Every year, almost 12 million individuals worldwide have a stroke, which occurs when a vessel transporting blood to the brain is obstructed by a clot or the...

Of 112 infant deaths examined, single-locus (Mendelian) genetic diseases were found to be the most typical antecedent of...
Atherogenesis is depicted in a young (a) or aged (b) host. Aged monocytes/macrophages have decreased levels of the epigenetic regulator TET2, leading to reduction of the 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) mark on the Itgb3 promoter. The resulting low integrin β3 levels in aged monocytes/macrophages induces high TNFα levels, facilitating recruitment and expansion of multiple SMC progenitors...
