Recently, Ireland, Norway, and Spain have announced that they will formally recognize the state of Palestine on 28th May 2024.

Autoimmune disease are more common in females than males
Scientists have found a molecular link between altered X-chromosome inactivation and autoimmune diseases.
In simple terms understand what is X inactivation
Each person usually has one pair of sex chromosomes
In males - XY
In female - XX
In womens , the X chromosome represents almost 5% of the total DNA, and in men, who have only one X chromosome, it represents about 2.5% of the total DNA.
In order to balance the amount of protein produced by this extra chromosome in female, one of the x chromosome get inactivated in cells other than egg cells during the embryonic development . This phenomenon is called X-inactivation or lyonization.
X-inactivation ensures that people with two X chromosomes have only one functional copy of the X chromosome in each cell.
