The inactive X chromosome drives sex differences in microglial inflammatory activity in human glioblastoma

2024-06-06

Abstract excerpt

Whether an individual is a biological female or male affects cancer risk, but the responsible mechanisms and cell types remain obscure. Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a male-biased cancer that is highly aggressive, and resistant to treatment, with poor patient survival.
