The results of a newly reported study have shown that people who suffered a serious heart attack had higher levels of micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) in their blood, compared with MNP levels in patients diagnosed with chronic ischemic heart disease and those who have normal blood vessels supplying the heart. The study findings also revealed that people who smoke and people exposed to higher levels of air pollution had higher levels of micro- and nanoplastics in their blood.

Ketogenic diets, originally developed in the 1920s to treat epilepsy, have been adapted in the past few decades as a strategy to lose weight or increase lifespan. This type of diet (a high percentage of fat, low percentage of carbohydrates, and normal or reduced amounts of protein) forces the body to burn fatty acids for energy in place of carbohydrates such as glucose. Burning these lipids produces ketone bodies—primarily β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) and acetoacetate—as byproducts of fatty acid metabolism. The impact of ketogenic diets on the gastrointestinal tract remains poorly understood.

Approximately three million people worldwide struggle with chronic pancreatitis, for which there is no cure. In a study published in  Cell Stem Cell  titled “ Patient-derived organoids reveal ductal dysfunction and CFTR-modulator responses in chronic pancreatitis ,” researchers from Salk Institute have developed an organoid platform to uncover the mechanism of chronic pancreatitis development and identify possible therapeutic strategies.
