Abstract
Sex is well known to influence life expectancy and disposition to disease. Stem and progenitor cells are believed to persist throughout life, and they contribute to the repair and healthy maintenance of tissue; consequently, sex-related differences demonstrated by stem cells may provide insight to sex-related differences in aging, disease, and healing. However, cell sex is an often overlooked variable in stem cell biology.Mesh:
