Sex is a fundamental biological variable important in biomedical research, drug development, clinical trials, and prevention approaches. Among many organs, kidneys are known to exhibit remarkable structural, histological, and pathological differences between sexes. However, whether and how kidney...
Cd248 has recently been associated with adipose tissue physiology, demonstrated by reduced weight gain in high fat diet-fed mice with genetic deletion of Cd248 relative to controls.
