Sex hormones and chromosomes work in tandem to impact immune responses, with estrogen influencing class-switched memory B cell frequency exclusively in humans with an XX chromosomal background. From @hlpeks.bsky.social, @bcellsrosser.bsky.social, Coziana Ciurtin et al. rupress.org/jem/article/...

Did you know women may be naturally better at fighting certain infections than men?

A UCL study funded by the Foundation finds women have a higher proportion of key immune cells between puberty & menopause. 💪🦠

Tune in to @bcellsrosser.bsky.social on BBC R4’s Inside Health to learn more!

Thrilled to finally share our paper on how sex hormones and sex chromosomes interact to affect B cell class-switching!🥳 Diversity & inclusion in research recruitment = better science for all!😎 Thanks to @bcellsrosser.bsky.social@emmaschambers.bsky.social@arrdept-ucldom.bsky.social for ++ hard work!🌟
