Study shows enforced masking on long flights prevents SARS-CoV-2 transmission

Tue, 05/28/2024 - 01:32
A recent study reveals that longer flights without enforced masking significantly increase the risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission, while enforced masking on long-haul flights effectively prevents in-flight transmission. The findings underscore the importance of mask enforcement in reducing COVID-19 spread on aircraft.

Heart failure triggers multimorbidity by altering stem cells, study reveals

Tue, 05/28/2024 - 01:16
Researchers identified that heart failure (HF) promotes multimorbidity by altering hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) to produce pro-inflammatory macrophages, increasing vulnerability in multiple organs. The study highlights the role of suppressed TGF-β signaling in these alterations, contributing to chronic inflammation and subsequent health issues.
