Metabolic differences in male and female muscles may explain diabetes variations
The skeletal muscles of men and women process glucose and fats in different ways. A study conducted by the University Hospital of TĂŒbingen, the Institute for Diabetes Research and Metabolic Diseases of Helmholtz Munich and the German Center for Diabetes Research (DZD) e. V. provides the first comprehensive molecular analysis of these differences. The results, published in Molecular Metabolism, possibly give an explanation for why metabolic diseases such as diabetes manifest differently in women and menâand why they respond differently to physical activity.
Skeletal muscles are far more than just âmovement driving motors.â They play a central role in glucose metabolism and therefore also in the development of type 2 diabetes. This is due to the fact that around 85% of insulin-dependent glucose uptake takes place in the muscles.
This means that if muscle cells react less sensitively to insulin, for example in the case of insulin resistance, glucose is less easily absorbed from the blood. This process is specifically counteracted by physical activity.

âYour move, Teslaâ â Waymo Swallows Tesla Robotaxi Service Area In One Gulp
Questions to inspire discussion.
đ€ Q: What are the potential issues with the Uber-Lucid-Neuro robotaxi partnership? A: The partnership is a âcluster f waiting to happenâ due to independent entities involved, which typically end in a âmessy divorceâ, making it potentially uncompetitive against fully integrated solutions like Teslaâs.
đșïž Q: How does Teslaâs robotaxi service area expansion compare to Waymoâs? A: Tesla expanded its service area in 22 days, while Waymoâs first service area expansion in Austin, Texas took 4 months and 13 days, demonstrating Teslaâs faster and more aggressive approach to expansion.
Business Viability.
đŒ Q: What concerns exist about the Uber-Lucid-Neuro robotaxi partnershipâs business case? A: While considered a âbreakout momentâ for autonomous vehicles, the business case and return on investment for the service remain unclear, according to former Ford CEO Mark Fields.
đ Q: What manufacturing advantage does Tesla have in the robotaxi market? A: Teslaâs fully vertically integrated approach and ability to mass-manufacture Cyber Cabs at a scale of tens of thousands per month gives it a significant cost-per-mile advantage over competitors using more expensive, non-specialized vehicles. ## Key Insights.
Guselkumab demonstrates superior efficacy in clinical trials, offering new hope to Crohnâs disease patients
In a major advance for patients with Crohnâs disease, a new study led by researchers at Mount Sinai Health System found that guselkumab, a medication with a mechanism of action that is new to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) treatment, outperformed an established standard of care in promoting intestinal healing and symptom relief.
These findings from two pivotal Phase III trials known as GALAXI 2 and 3, published in The Lancet, provided the basis for the recent Food and Drug Administration approval of guselkumab (brand name Tremfya) for the treatment of moderately to severely active Crohnâs disease.
Crohnâs disease affects roughly 780,000 people in the United States and often requires a lifetime of management. Despite numerous available biologic medications, many patients fail to achieve sustained remission. Guselkumab blocks the interleukin-23 (IL-23) pathway, a key driver of chronic intestinal inflammation.
Earth Could Be in a Massive Cosmic Bubble Thatâs Warping the Universe, Astrophysicists Reveal
A cosmic void could be distorting how we see the universe expand. Sound from the Big Bang may hold the clues. According to astronomers, Earth and the entire Milky Way galaxy might be located within a vast, low-density region of spaceâessentially a cosmic voidâthat causes the universe to expand mo
