Epithelial barriers are programmed for defense and repair but are also the site of long-term structural remodeling and disease. In general, this paradigm features epithelial stem cells (ESCs) that are called on to regenerate damaged tissues but can also be reprogrammed for detrimental remodeling. Here we identified a Wfdc21-dependent monocyte-derived dendritic cell (moDC) population that functioned as an early sentinel niche for basal ESC reprogramming in mouse models of epithelial injury after

Nature Reviews Cardiology, Published online: 17 September 2024; doi:10.1038/s41569-024-01070-6 The gut microbiota has emerged as a risk factor that affects thrombotic phenotypes in several cardiovascular diseases. In this Review, Reinhardt and colleagues discuss the link between the gut microbiota, its metabolites and thromboembolic diseases, and summarize potential therapeutic interventions to modulate the gut microbiota.

Background Cancer survivors are at increased risk of heart failure (HF). While cardiotoxicity is commonly sought at the time of cancer chemotherapy, HF develops as a result of multiple ‘hits’ over time, and there is limited evidence regarding the frequency and causes of HF during survivorship. Objectives This systematic review sought to investigate the relationship between cardiotoxic cancer therapies and HF during survivorship.

Overactivation of the sympathetic nervous system is a hallmark sign of chronic kidney disease (CKD) that increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. People with CKD often have impaired sympathetic baroreflex sensitivity—a measure of how well the baroreflex system regulates blood pressure changes. This may contribute to sympathetic nervous system overactivation and related problems, according to researchers from Vitam—Research Center Health Durable in Canada.

Insulin resistance is a major risk factor for the leading causes of death, the leading one being cardiovascular disease. Everyone sits somewhere on the scale of insulin sensitivity from very insulin sensitive to very insulin resistant at the point of type 2 diabetes. Understanding where you sit on this continuum is a key part of defining your future risk of heart disease but also dementia, and many cancers.

In healthcare, so much of safety and reference materials emphasize how to protect the patient, but there are far fewer resources dedicated toward helping protect you, the provider, over the course of time. While patients may be exposed to radiation only when they come in for an imaging exam or undergo a surgical procedure utilizing a C-arm, the providers who use these systems over the course of years are exposed again and again and again.

As society ages, the number of patients with heart failure is rapidly increasing. Excessive growth of fibrotic tissue in the heart, known as fibrosis, is associated with the progression of heart failure. A group from the Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine in Japan has found an enzyme protein kinase N (PKN) that regulates heart fibrosis. The enzyme catalyzes the conversion of heart fibroblasts to myofibroblasts, which threatens the integrity of the heart.
