Vitamin B2 metabolism helps cancer cells resist ferroptosis

A lack of vitamin B2 makes tumor cells more susceptible to a unique form of cell death. This was discovered by researchers at the Rudolf Virchow Centre at the University of Würzburg. The human body cannot produce vitamin B2 – also known as riboflavin – itself; it must absorb the important substance through diet. The … Read more

Immune microRNAs drive new frontiers in cardiovascular disease research

  Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) continue to dominate global mortality statistics, with immune dysregulation emerging as a central feature in their pathogenesis. This review by Gareev et al. focuses on immune-derived microRNAs (immuno-miRs) as pivotal modulators of immune responses in cardiovascular settings, highlighting their roles in pathophysiology, diagnostic potential, and therapeutic promise. Introduction … Read more
