[1PS-18]【J】The Science of Sex Differences-Present and Future

Wed. Dec 3, 2025 2:20 PM - 4:20 PM JST
Wed. Dec 3, 2025 5:20 AM - 7:20 AM UTC

Room 18(Pacifico Yokohama Conference Center 5F, 511+512)

Organizer: Kentaro Suzuki (University of Yamanashi), Akiko Mizokami (Kyushu University)

Sex differences, such as disease prevalence and organ size, are widely recognized. Recent studies have revealed that individual cells exhibit sex differences at multiple levels—including gene expression, protein profiles, and morphology—contributing collectively to the manifestation of broader sex differences. In this symposium, we will present the latest research uncovering the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying these sex differences. We will also discuss the significance of investigating sex differences and explore future directions in this field.
