Strokes cause numerous changes in gene activity in affected small blood vessels in the brain, and these changes are potentially targetable with existing or future drugs to mitigate brain injury or improve stroke recovery, according to a study led by Weill Cornell Medicine scientists in the US.

A machine learning-aided study on heart shape found that sphericity seems to occur more commonly in healthy hearts than previously believed but can also act as a genetic indicator of cardiac problems that lie ahead.

Diabetes UK and the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) have launched a new strategy to set the direction of clinical and applied diabetes research in the UK.

A new study suggests light therapy could be an effective means of slowing down cardiovascular aging.

Technology developed in the US is offering new hope for people living with impairments after a stroke that would otherwise be considered permanent.

Employees at a pioneering Guildford-based healthcare business are covering the distance it would take to walk around the world to raise funds for a leading diabetes charity.

Poor sleep could lead to between two and seven years worth of heightened heart disease risk and even premature death, according to a new study.

A new study has analysed the cerebral blood flow (CBF) regulation of individuals who had experienced strokes.

A new study has shown the importance of Covid-19 vaccines in patients who have had a kidney transplant.

Researchers in the US have mapped gene control elements in specialised cardiac cells responsible for co-ordinating heartbeats.

Healthcare professionals looking to refresh their diabetes knowledge are invited to sign up for the first session of a new monthly webinar series dedicated to the subject.

Editing a gene that prompts a cascade of damage after a heart attack appeared to reverse this inevitable course in mice, leaving their hearts remarkably unharmed, a new study by US scientists showed.

Using the latest technologies researchers have uncovered novel candidate drug targets for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

A virtual event dedicated to continuous glucose monitoring will take place next month as part of a webinar series covering all aspects of diabetes care.

Clinicians have helped develop a new prototype application which aims to help healthcare professionals effectively triage patients who suffer a cardiac arrest outside of a hospital.

A stroke team has won a national prize for the way it has involved patients in shaping future care.

Using the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system, researchers have corrected mutations responsible for a common inherited heart condition called dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in human cells.

Immunologists have uncovered a key pathogenic event prompted by obesity that can trigger severe forms of non alcoholic fatty liver disease and potential liver failure.

A new 20-bed ward is opening at Hull Royal Infirmary this month for patients with acute heart problems.

Patients recovering from heart surgery can be at risk from a life-threatening condition where fluid builds up around the heart, strangling its ability to beat properly.
