Press release - 03/07/2025 Focus on Muscle Metabolism: Sex Differences in Sport and Obesity The skeletal muscles of men and women process glucose and fats in different ways. A study provides the first comprehensive molecular analysis of these differences. The results possibly give an explanation why metabolic diseases such as diabetes manifest differently in women and men – and why they respond differently to physical activity. https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/press-release/focus-muscle-metabolism-sex-differences-sport-and-obesity
Press release - 02/07/2025 Commission launches new strategy to make Europe a global leader in life sciences by 2030 The European Commission has launched a new strategy to make Europe the most attractive place in the world for life sciences by 2030. Life sciences – the study of living systems, from cells to ecosystems – are central to our health, environment and economy. They drive innovation in medicine, food and sustainable production, adding nearly €1.5 trillion in value to the EU economy and supporting 29 million jobs across the Union.https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/press-release/commission-launches-new-strategy-make-europe-global-leader-life-sciences-2030
Computer tool opens up new ways to address antibiotic resistance - 02/07/2025 PhARIS identifies effective phages against multi-resistant bacteria Bacteriophages - viruses that specifically attack and destroy bacteria - are emerging as promising alternatives to antibiotics in the fight against drug-resistant infections. To speed this effort, researchers have created PhARIS, a computational tool that mines genomic data to pinpoint phages that are effective against S. aureus. By rapidly matching phage and pathogen, PhARIS can accelerate the development of targeted phage therapies.https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/news/pharis-identifies-effective-phages-against-multi-resistant-bacteria
