Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals sex differences in the subcellular composition and associated gene-regulatory network activity of human carotid plaques
A new study published in Nature Cardiovascular Research found that while carotid artery narrowing can lead to stroke in both men and women, the symptoms and plaque characteristics often differ between the sexes. Even though the main types of cells in the plaques are similar, important differences exist in the smaller structures within those cells. According to the World
