🚨 New Podcast Episode! 🎙️ “Gut Talks to the Heart 🥗💓🧠: The Incretin Connection”   Did you know that GLP-1 and GIP do far more than control blood sugar? These humble gut hormones orchestrate perfusion, reduce inflammation, protect the brain, heart, kidneys—and may even slow cognitive decline.   💊 From diabetes care to cardio-renal-neuro protection, incretin-based therapies are rewriting the rules of metabolism.   🔗 Tune in to learn how your next meal could be triggering an endocrine symphony.   #Cardiology #Endocrinology #Incretins #GLP1 #GIP...

Exciting new insights from Science Translational Medicine (2025)!   Researchers uncovered how the GAS6–AXL–FAK axis determines whether wounds heal with scars or regeneration. 🧬💉   💡 Activating AXL with GAS6 rewires fibrotic healing into scarless repair — especially in the oral mucosa. 💥 Blocking AXL flips the script, leading to fibrosis even in normally regenerative tissues.   This could revolutionize how we approach scar prevention and tissue regeneration. 🩹✨   #RegenerativeMedicine #WoundHealing #Fibrosis #AXL #FAK #PrecisionMedicine #GAS6 #scRNAseq...

☕💓 Is your daily brew helping or harming your heart?   New evidence from a comprehensive European Heart Journal review suggests that moderate coffee consumption (1–4 cups/day) is linked to reduced risks of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, coronary artery disease, heart failure, stroke, and even mortality.   🧬 Benefits often persist regardless of caffeine content, and filtered coffee appears safest for lipid profiles. ⚠️ But beware: excessive intake and unfiltered brews may raise LDL.   📊 Great read for clinicians navigating patient questions on coffee and...

🧠🧬 New research alert! Plasma proteomics from 44,000+ UK Biobank participants reveals that the brain and immune system are powerful predictors of longevity.   A youthful brain and immune system cut mortality risk nearly in half—more so than any other organ. This could reshape how we think about aging, diagnostics, and preventive medicine.   📊 Machine learning + blood proteins = next-gen aging biomarkers. 🔗 Study link: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41591-025-03798-1   #Longevity #Proteomics #BrainHealth #ImmuneSystem #Aging #Biomarkers #PrecisionMedicine #UKBiobank...

🧠💓 Just read a fascinating new study in Cell Metabolism (July 2025): dislocation of hexokinase 1 from mitochondria increases O-GlcNAcylation in endothelial cells — a hidden driver of HFpEF!   Reversing this sugar-tagging with OGA overexpression or OGT inhibition restores heart function in mice. Precision metabolism meets cardiology. 🔬❤️‍🔥   #HFpEF #OGlcNAcylation #EndothelialDysfunction #CardioResearch #MetabolicTherapeutics #CellMetabolism
