Aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD) exhibit sex differences in several biological processes, including demyelination. In a recent study, Lopez-Lee et al. uncover the contributions of sex chromosomes and gonadal hormones to sex differences in demyelination and identify Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) as a potential target to ameliorate tauopathy-induced demyelination in men.
衰老和阿尔茨海默病(AD)在包括脱髓鞘在内的多个生物学过程中表现出性别差异。在最近的一项研究中,洛佩斯 - 李等人揭示了性染色体和性腺激素对脱髓鞘性别差异的影响,并将Toll样受体7(TLR7)确定为改善男性tau蛋白病诱导的脱髓鞘的潜在靶点。
