🚨 New Research Alert! 💡 Just explored a fascinating preclinical study on apigenin 🧪—a flavonoid found in parsley & chamomile 🌿—that prevents muscle loss in aging, obese rats 🐀💪.   📉 While it didn’t stop weight gain or fat buildup, apigenin boosted muscle mass, reduced fibrosis 🦵, and activated anabolic signaling (p70S6K) 🔁.   💊 Could this be a future nutraceutical for sarcopenic obesity and healthy aging? More clinical research needed—but the signal is strong. 🚦   #Apigenin #Flavonoids #Sarcopenia #Obesity #MuscleHealth #Aging...

🫀 New insights from Covani et al. and Ben-Yehuda’s editorial reveal a striking paradox: more cardiovascular risk factors 🔥 = more plaque rupture, but less erosion! 🧊   Using OCT imaging, they show how traditional risks drive inflammatory, rupture-prone plaques, while erosion may follow a different path altogether—less lipid, less inflammation, more mystery. 🧬   🎯 Takeaway: Precision prevention must evolve. Not all plaques (or patients) follow the same script.   🔗 Dive into this convergence of epidemiology & imaging 👉 #PlaqueVulnerability #STEMI...

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...
