In this week's Homerun Slides, the rate of heart failure hospitalization and all-cause mortality of patients on the placebo vs empagliflozin study.

Insulin receptor substrate molecules -- receptor substrate/docking protein: Following insulin binding and receptor autophosphorylation, the next committed step in signal transduction is tyrosine phosphorylation of intracellular proteins. To accomplish this, autophosphorylation of the beta subunit mediates noncovalent but stable interactions between the receptor and intracellular substrate proteins, and this positions these molecules for tyrosine phosphorylation by the activated insulin receptor kinase.
