Calorie-Restriction-Induced Insulin Sensitivity Is Mediated by Adipose mTORC2 and Not Required for Lifespan Extension

Humidifiers Summary: Calorie restriction (CR) extends the healthspan and lifespan of diverse species.In mammals, a broadly conserved metabolic effect of CR is improved insulin sensitivity, which may mediate the beneficial effects of a CR diet.This model has been challenged by the identification of interventions that extend lifespan and healthspan y

Anomalous Transport Behavior in Quantum Magnets

Transport behavior that is Early Learning Toy characterized by a low-temperature electrical resistivity that displays a power law behavior ( ρ ( T → 0 ) ∝ T s ) with an exponent of s < 2 is commonly observed in magnetic materials in both the magnetic and non-magnetic phases.We give a pedagogical overview of this phenomenon that sum
