Project Details

Key findings

• We have established that male and female cells respond in different ways to extracellular signals (developmental, hormonal etc.)

• We have identified molecular signatures that are inherent features of male and female cells.

• We have shown that cells of the female immune system are primed to respond more readily to infection than cells of the male immune system.
