Sex differences in umbilical artery Doppler indices: A longitudinal study [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Sexual dimorphism in placental size and function has been described. Whether this influences the clinically important umbilical artery (UA) waveform remains controversial, although a few cross-sectional studies have shown sex differences in ...

A call for inclusive research, policies, and leadership to close the global women’s health gap

Biology of Sex Differences
Women comprise approximately half of the world’s population, yet they are often underrepresented and inadequately considered in medical and public health research and in health care delivery in the United States and around the world.

Sex differences in transplantation [PDF]

Transplantation Reviews, 2017
Sex plays a role in the incidence and progression of a wide variety of diseases and conditions related to transplantation. Additionally, a growing body of clinical and experimental evidence suggests that sex can impact the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of several commonly used immunosuppressive and anti-infective drugs in transplant recipients.

Prognosis of Long‐Term Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy and the Impact of Combined Continuous Intravenous Sodium Infusion Therapy

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Patients requiring long‐term continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) generally have poor prognoses. This study evaluated whether adding continuous intravenous sodium infusion (cIVNa) is associated with improved hemodynamics and outcomes in patients undergoing long‐term CRRT for ≥ 7 days.

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

3D in vitro modelling of post-partum cardiovascular health reveals unique characteristics and signatures following hypertensive disorders in pregnancy

Biology of Sex Differences
Background Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) affect 2–8% of pregnancies and are associated postpartum with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, although mechanisms are poorly understood. Methods Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC)-

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.
