How do Microplastic bits affect the heart? A small study from Italy looked into this by checking if these minuscule plastic particles, mostly too small to see (called nanoparticles), were in the artery plaque of the people they studied. The researchers studied 257 individuals who underwent surgery to clear clogged blood vessels. They examined...
Scientists found a protein that might help treat illnesses linked to getting older. This protein helps remove broken parts of cells called organelles. Organelles do important work in cells and are crucial for their function. Among these organelles are mitochondria, which create energy in cells, and lysosomes, which maintain cell health. Damage to these small...
