[SOURCES AND CONSEQUENCES OF HIGH SALT CONSUMPTION IN MOSCOW: A STUDY OF DIETARY HABITS].

The aim of this study was to examine the level of salt consumption among various population groups in Moscow. The study was conducted using the 24-hour dietary recall method (24hDR) and the food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) over the course of one year. The results showed that 49.

Fibrillar Hydrogel Inducing Cell Mechanotransduction for Tissue Engineering.

One of the key strategies for tissue engineering is to design multifunctional bioinks that balance printability with cytocompatibility. Here, we describe fibrillar hydrogels produced by Schiff base formation between B-type gelatin and oxidized sodium alginate, followed by the incorporation of type I collagen, yielding a new gel (MyoColl). The resulting hydrogel exhibits a temperature- and mass-ratio-dependent sol-gel transition, showing variability of hydrogel properties depending on the component ratio.

White-to-Beige and Back: Adipocyte Conversion and Transcriptional Reprogramming.

Obesity has become a pandemic, as currently more than half a billion people worldwide are obese. The etiology of obesity is multifactorial, and combines a contribution of hereditary and behavioral factors, such as nutritional inadequacy, along with the influences of environment and reduced physical activity. Two types of adipose tissue widely known are white and brown.

Reprogramming Tumor-Associated Macrophage Using Nanocarriers: New Perspectives to Halt Cancer Progression.

Cancer remains a significant challenge for public healthcare systems worldwide. Within the realm of cancer treatment, considerable attention is focused on understanding the tumor microenvironment (TME)-the complex network of non-cancerous elements surrounding the tumor. Among the cells in TME, tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) play a central role, traditionally categorized as pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages or anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages.
