Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to determine if there is a causal link between dried fruit intake and kidney function, addressing limitations from previous observational studies that could lead to misleading results.
- - Utilizing a two-sample Mendelian randomization method, the researchers analyzed data to evaluate the effects of dried fruit on kidney function markers like blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, uric acid, and cystatin C, finding a negative association between higher dried fruit intake and poorer kidney function.
- - Although the initial findings suggested a positive effect of dried fruits on kidney function, factoring in alcohol consumption and smoking weakened the causal relationship for uric acid and cystatin C, while completely nullifying it for blood urea nitrogen and creatinine.
Despite centuries since the discovery and study of cancer, cancer is still a lethal and intractable health issue worldwide. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) have gained much attention as a pivotal component of the tumor microenvironment. The versatility and sophisticated mechanisms of CAFs in facilitating cancer progression have been elucidated extensively, including promoting cancer angiogenesis and metastasis, inducing drug resistance, reshaping the extracellular matrix, and developing an immunosuppressive microenvironment.
