Sex Bias in IL-10 Production by Type I Regulatory T Cells Regulated by PI3K/mTOR Signaling | Neurology Neuroimmunology & Neuroinflammation Background and ObjectivesMultiple sclerosis (MS) is more prevalent in women, with a female-to-male ratio of 3:1. The molecular mechanisms driving this sex difference are still mostly unknown. MS resul...

In this study, we highlight a sex difference in Type I regulatory T cells, with potential translational application in MS to be further explored.

Sex differences in health and disease

Some of us may be interested to meet sooner, so #EESSexDifferences @EMBLEvents may be of interest. It goes beyond the immune system, but still www.embl.org/about/info/c...

Thanks to all for participating in the first EFIS sex differences in the immune system meeting, and thank you @darraghduffy.bsky.social @milieuinterieur.bsky.social for the generous hospitality and for inviting us to your fascinating annual meeting.

Today we meet face to face for the first time!

Surprisingly, it is not yet obvious to all researchers and funding agencies that sex and gender matter in research, and should be recorded and addressed properly. So we wrote it authors.elsevier.com/c/1lxSmbah1w...
