Researchers have made new discoveries about aspirin’s mechanism of action and cellular targets. Their findings suggest potential interplay between cyclooxygenase enzyme, or COX, and indoleamine ...

Aspirin therapy's ability to reduce the risk of colorectal cancer, seen in a large number of studies, appears to depend on the drug's inhibition of the COX-2 enzyme, the action that also underlies ...

"These results suggest that aspirin's chemopreventive effects may be due, in part, to the drug blocking the proneoplastic [supporting new, abnormal growth, as in cancer] action of platelets and [they ...

"Aspirin causes the cyclooxygenase to make a small amount of a related product called 15-HETE," said senior author Edward A. Dennis, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Pharmacology, Chemistry and ...

Aspirin And Atherosclerosis: Mechanism Uncovered Date: September 25, 2008 Source: American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Summary: Researchers have uncovered the mechanism that may ...

For some people, aspirin can help prevent colon cancer; now researchers have learned more about how that happens. It seems the medicine is able to halt an important process that has been connected to ...

Aspirin, taken by around 29 million Americans daily, has increasingly been linked to inhibiting the growth of certain cancers – but we didn't quite know how. Now, scientists have uncovered how ...

Previous studies suggested that aspirin can reduce the risk and prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease. These studies, however, didn’t clarify aspirin’s anti-Alzheimer’s mechanism of action.

Two regular aspirin tablets are about 0.65 grams. High doses of aspirin, although used for some disorders, can cause serious side effects, such as intestinal bleeding, dizziness and nausea.

The study can’t supplant an RCT in this space, but does provide clear support for both short DAPT and P2Y12 inhibitors ...
