In a healthy joint, synovial fluid contains high concentrations of hyaluronic acid, which acts as both a lubricant during slow movements and a shock absorber during high-impact activities. In an osteoarthritic joint, the concentration and molecular weight of this HA decrease, leading to increased friction and cartilage wear.

Viscosupplementation works by introducing exogenous HA to restore these viscoelastic properties. Beyond simple lubrication, modern 2026 research confirms that HA interacts with cellular receptors (like CD44) to inhibit inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, TNF-α) and stimulate the production of the body's own natural lubricants, effectively shifting the joint from a "catabolic" (breaking down) state to an "anabolic" (building up) state.

Historically, endometrial cancer was categorized primarily by its appearance under a microscope.

By 2026, the clinical standard has shifted to a molecular classification system based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Patients are now grouped into four distinct categories: POLE-mutated (ultramutated), Mismatch Repair Deficient (dMMR), Copy-Number Low, and Copy-Number High (p53-abnormal). This genomic fingerprint is more predictive of a patient's survival and response to treatment than traditional staging alone. For instance, women with POLE mutations often have an excellent prognosis regardless of tumor size, allowing for less aggressive surgical interventions, whereas those with p53 mutations are identified early for intensive chemotherapy and targeted agents.

Fresh apricots are a popular seasonal fruit known for their soft texture, bright color, and naturally sweet-tart flavor. They belong to the stone fruit family and are enjoyed in many parts of the world during their harvest season. Fresh apricots are commonly eaten as a snack, added to meals, or used in home cooking, making them a valued fruit in everyday diets.

One of the main reasons fresh apricots are appreciated is their pleasant taste and versatility. They can be eaten raw, sliced into fruit bowls, or combined with other foods such as yogurt and cereals. Their balance of sweetness and light acidity makes them refreshing and easy to enjoy. Fresh apricots are especially popular during warm months when consumers look for light and juicy fruits.

Fresh apricots are grown in regions with suitable climates that support stone fruit cultivation. Careful farming practices help ensure good fruit quality, appearance, and…
