    on May 4, 2026 at 8:00 am

    Endothelial dysfunction is a hallmark of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and plays a central role in vascular inflammation, thrombosis, and impaired vasodilation. A study led by researchers from Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH) and the Alicante Institute for Health and Biomedical Research (ISABIAL) identifies high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) as the most robust and evidence-based strategy to improve endothelial function in patients with CVD.

  • Marker of biological aging linked to cognitive symptoms of depression
    on May 4, 2026 at 5:00 am

    Blood tests measuring the aging of certain white blood cells can predict cognitive and mood-related symptoms of depression, rather than physical symptoms. These findings, published in The Journals of Gerontology, Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences, bring researchers closer to identifying a biomarker for detecting the mood disorder, which affects nearly one in five US adults.

  • Low-dose drug cuts breast density up to 26% with fewer side effects
    on May 4, 2026 at 12:00 am

    Low doses of the investigational medicinal product endoxifen reduce breast density to the same extent as the standard treatment tamoxifen, but without causing such troublesome side effects. This is shown by a new study from Karolinska Institutet published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. The results may have implications for future preventive treatment of breast cancer.

  • Exercise is one of the most effective ways to treat Parkinson’s disease

    With no known cure for Parkinson’s disease, research suggests that exercise is one of the most effective ways to slow its progression. “Exercise may be more than just good for your general health, as it can actually help slow the progression of Parkinson’s by reducing the brain inflammation at the root of the disease,” said Merrill Landers, interim dean for UNLV’s School of Integrated Health Sciences and a practicing physical therapist for the past 30 years.
