Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38060103/

The reprogramming of lipid metabolism and its association with oncogenic signaling pathways within the tumor microenvironment (TME) have emerged as significant hallmarks of cancer. Lipid metabolism is defined as a...

Lipid metabolism dysregulation in the tumor microenvironment influences cancer progression. This review explores mechanisms of lipid reprogramming, its role in oncogenesis, and emerging therapies targeting lipid metabolism for cancer treatment.

Camu-camu decreases hepatic steatosis and liver injury markers in overweight, hypertriglyceridemic individuals: A randomized crossover trial - PubMed

Camu-camu decreases hepatic steatosis and liver injury markers in overweight, hypertriglyceridemic individuals: A randomized crossover trial - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39168095/

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) affects 25% of the adult population with no effective drug treatments available. Previous animal studies reported that a polyphenol-rich extract from the Amazonian berry camu-camu...

A randomized trial showed that camu-camu (CC) polyphenol-rich extract reduced liver fat by 7.43%, improved liver enzymes, and altered gut microbiota composition in overweight adults, potentially lowering NAFLD risk.

Did you know? Radiation-induced vasculopathy can occur after cancer treatment, where radiation accelerates the development of age-related conditions like atherosclerosis. This condition can lead to the thickening and narrowing of blood vessels, increasing the risk of cardiovascular issues long after the cancer treatment is complete.

How can health care providers monitor and manage the long-term cardiovascular risks associated with radiation therapy in cancer survivors?

American Heart Association Scientific Sessions

The American Heart Association 2024 Scientific Sessions are taking place at McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago from Nov. 16 to 18, 2024. The three-day conference highlights the latest innovations in cardiovascular science for researchers, clinicians, and other health care professionals. Topics range from new guidelines for treating a host of cardiovascular diseases to new and emerging therapies and innovative risk-reduction strategies, including the use of injectable weight loss medications to improve heart health.

Above, we summarize some presentations that caught our eye at the conference. We will follow this up with a postconference wrap-up report. Stay tuned.
