] | Vegetarian (including vegan) and pescetarian diets may be linked to a lower risk of coronary heart disease, or CHD for short, than diets that include meat, suggest the findings of a large UK study published in The BMJ today. But vegetarians and vegans had a higher risk of stroke than meat eaters, particularly hemorrhag... | Medicine | 865 | [

10.1038/nature20789 | For the first time, researchers reveal a causal link between RNA splicing and aging | Abstract Ageing is driven by a loss of transcriptional and protein homeostasis 1 , 2 , 3 and is the key risk factor for multiple chronic diseases. Interventions that attenuate or reverse systemic dysfunction associated with age therefore have the potential to reduce overall disease risk in the elderly. Precursor mRNA (... | [
