DOI 10.1186/s13293-026-00996-5
Open DOI
Lifetime maternal stress, fetal sex, and microRNAs in prenatal extracellular vesicles and placenta in relation to children’s internalizing problems
Background: Prenatal stress predicts offspring anxiety and depressive disorders and placental microRNA (miRNA) signaling in a sex-specific manner. Methods: We prospectively examined associations of miRNAs measured in placental tissue and...

DOI 10.1186/s13293-026-01003-7
Open DOI
Menstrual cycle-related neurotrophic and inflammatory variation differs between adult females with and without Major Depressive Disorder
Background: The pathophysiology of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), which disproportionately affects females, has been linked to neuroimmune mechanisms. However, many canonical biomarkers of MDD may be influenced by physiological changes...
03
DOI 10.1186/s13293-026-01000-w
Open DOI
Sex-specific differences in metabolic syndrome-related biomarkers across body fluids: a systematic review
Background: Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) exhibits significant sex differences in clinical presentation and cardiometabolic outcomes. However, sex- and gender-specific patterns in biomarkers across different body fluids among patients with M...

DOI 10.1186/s13293-026-00994-7
Open DOI
Dynamic expression of estrogen receptor subtypes during brain development and their mechanistic roles in anesthetic-induced cognitive dysfunction: a review
Estrogen receptor subtypes exhibit dynamic spatiotemporal differences across stages of brain development, forming a molecular basis for the regulation of neurogenesis, synaptic plasticity, and cognitive function. Commonly used general an...

DOI 10.1186/s13293-026-00998-3
Open DOI
Sex differences in a mouse model of radiation-induced cardiomyopathy
Background: Radiation-induced heart disease (RIHD) may develop months to years following radiation therapy for cancers near the heart such as lung or breast cancer. Several mouse models of RIHD exist to study the pathogenesis of disease,...

DOI 10.1186/s13293-026-00992-9
Open DOI
Sex differences in mortality risk profiles across the life course in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: a machine learning analysis of the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging
Background: Prognostic models for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) are largely ‘one-size-fits-all’ and do not collectively account for sex differences and social determinants of health (SDoH). To address t...

DOI 10.1186/s13293-026-00999-2
Open DOI
Female sex accelerates retinal neurodegeneration in Herc3-deficient mice
Background: Retinal degeneration involves mechanisms common to other neurodegenerative diseases, including mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, and impaired proteostasis via the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). Although sex hormone...

DOI 10.1186/s13293-026-00988-5
Open DOI
Long-read RNA sequencing reveals sex-associated isoform distribution in soma and neuropil of the rat hippocampal CA1
Background: Sex-associated differences in hippocampal function are well-recognized, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying these variations remain incompletely understood. In the CA1 region, the spatial organization of the transcriptome...

DOI 10.1186/s13293-026-00995-6
Open DOI
Short- and long-term effects of social isolation on adult murine bone are sex-dependent
Social isolation is a known modifiable risk factor for many chronic diseases including cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurological disorders. Recent research has demonstrated that social isolation is similarly detrimental to skeletal hea...

Open DOI
Prenatal bisphenol A exposure is associated with sex-specific cerebellar transcriptomic alterations and altered motor performance in rat offspring
Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by a significant male-to-female bias and cerebellar abnormalities. Although bisphenol A (BPA) has been increasingly investigated as a potential en...
