| About Biology of Sex Differences |
Biology of Sex Differences is the official open access journal of the Organization for the Study of Sex Differences and a publication of the Society for Women’s Health Research.
Sex has profound effects on physiology and the susceptibility to disease. The function of cells and organs depends on their sex, determined by the interplay among the genome and biological and social environments. The study of sex differences is a discipline in itself, with its own concepts and methods that apply across tissues.
Topical areas include, but are not limited to sex differences in:
|
the genome |
|
epigenetics |
|
molecular and cell biology |
|
tissue biology |
|
physiology |
|
interaction of tissue systems, in any system including adipose, behavioral, cardiovascular, immune, muscular, neural, renal, and skeletal |
|
and clinical studies bearing on sex differences in disease or response to therapy |
