Oxidative Stress is a condition in which antioxidant levels are lower than normal. Antioxidant levels are usually measured in blood plasma.

Study identifies a promising target for cancer treatment

If there is a positive aspect in cancer’s random biology, it is that the same characteristics that promote the growth of cancer cells usually present opportunities for destroying them.

Researchers demonstrate healing power of extracellular vesicles on a heart-on-a-chip

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) -- nanometer sized messengers that travel between cells to deliver cues and cargo -- are promising tools for the next generation of therapies for everything from autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases to cancer and tissue injury.

Protein in the pancreas protects beta-cells from high-fat diet induced stress

Every time we eat, the glucose level in our body goes up. This spurs our pancreatic machinery into action and through intricate physiological mechanisms, appropriate amounts of insulin are produced, our blood glucose levels are controlled, and we remain healthy.
