Study findings published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology examined over 15 years of data […] The post Mayo Clinic study reveals hidden causes of heart attacks in younger adults, especially women appeared first on Web-Release.

    Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a molecular “switch” in lung cells that helps them decide when to repair tissue and when to fight infection. This discovery could guide future regenerative therapies for chronic lung diseases. “We were surprised to find that these specialized cells cannot do both jobs at once,” says Douglas Brownfield, Ph.D., senior […] The post Mayo Clinic discovery reveals how lungs repair themselves, opening doors for regenerative therapies appeared first on Web-Release.
