Fibronectin triggers secretion of extracellular vesicles carrying collagen VI that regulate smooth muscle cell adhesion and migration during vascular repair and atherogenesis.

You may notice changes to your sexual performance and love life if you take glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists such as semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic) and tirzepatide (Zepound, Mounjaro). These ...

On busy days, you may not feel you have the time to sit on a toilet and wait for your bladder to empty, so you “power pee” — you bear down to expel urine faster. “Power peeing is a really common habit ...
