The impact of sex on the immune system explored at the single-cell level

2025-07-31

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Sex has a key role in disease susceptibility, in particular autoimmunity. Sex differences of the immune system stems from genes and their interactions with intrinsic and external factors. However, the cellular-level factors influencing sexual dimorphism is not fully understood. We thus examined immune sex differences at single-cell resolution to dissect the genetic impacts. Female-biased sex-diff...
