Cell-Type-Specific Viral Vectors

Viral vectors are used in biological research and therapy to deliver genetic material into cells. However, the efficiency of viral vectors varies depending on the cell type. Here is the latest research on cell-type-specific viral vectors.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.

Type 2 Diabetes

This feed focuses on Type 2 Diabetes, a disease where the body doesn’t produce or respond to insulin anymore, leading to abnormal glucose levels in the blood.
