"Alguien está equivocado en internet" (xkcd). ¿Qué pasa cuando lo equivocado son los libros, y el error proviene de un argumento de Einstein? Acompáñeme en la demostración del teorema de Nernst (tercer principio de la termodinámica).

Cells are swapping their mitochondria. What does this mean for our health? Researchers are studying why the energy factories are moving between cells and whether the process can be harnessed to treat cancer and other diseases.

Nature reports on how researchers are studying why mitochondria are moving between cells and whether the process can be harnessed to treat cancer and other diseases. 🧪

This is figure 1, which gives an overview of cohort construction, model development and performance assessment for 10-year incident CAD risk meta-prediction in the UKBB.

This is figure 1, which gives an overview of cohort construction, model development and performance assessment for 10-year incident CAD risk meta-prediction in the UKBB.

A study in Nature Medicine shows that a meta-prediction framework integrating polygenic risk scores spanning multiple conditions and nongenetic factors had superior performance in predicting the 10-year risk of coronary artery disease. go.nature.com/4igXqAJ 🔒

Age and Sex Differences in Efficacy of Treatments for Type 2 Diabetes This network meta-analysis assesses whether age or sex are associated with differences in the efficacy of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, and dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors in adults with type 2 diabetes.

SGLT2 inhibitors reduce cardiovascular risks more effectively in older adults, while GLP-1 receptor agonists benefit younger individuals.

Efficacy of Low-Carbohydrate Diets Versus Low-Fat Diets in Glycemic Control Among Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review This systematic review evaluates the comparative efficacy of low-carbohydrate diets (LCDs) versus low-fat diets (LFDs) in improving glycemic control, weight management, and lipid profiles in individua...

Low-carb diets win against low-fat diets (except in most important measure):
- reduce HbA1c, fasting glucose, and triglycerides 💪
- superior weight loss 💪
- increased HDL 💪
Big problem: reductions in diabetes medication!
--> No money to be made 😭
