According to the results of a study conducted at the °µÍø½ûÇø Research Hospital, tumors suppress the response of “Natural Killer” cells—key players in the anti-tumor response — by interfering with autophagy, their internal cleaning mechanism. Researchers have discovered how to reactivate the process and awaken the response against tumors. Despite their crucial role in the […]
A meta-analysis encompassing the health outcomes of over 500,000 women who used assisted reproductive technologies found no significant evidence of an increased risk of heart attack, stroke, or thromboembolism within ten years of treatment. Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) do not increase long-term cardiovascular risk. This is the finding of a study published in the European […]
