Sex-Specific Modulation of Gene Expression by 17beta-Estradiol in Human Meniscal Cells: Pathways to Targeted Osteoarthritis Therapies
2026-07-28
Abstract excerpt
Osteoarthritis (OA) disproportionately affects women, and estrogen has been implicated in cartilage and joint homeostasis, yet its effects on meniscal fibrochondrocytes (MFCs), and whether those effects differ by sex, remain poorly defined. We reanalyzed a publicly available RNA-sequencing dataset (Gene Expression Omnibus, GSE199087) comprising human MFCs from a male and a female donor treated with 17β-estradiol (...
