Sex-driven variability in TSPO-expressing microglia in MS patients and healthy individuals

Sex-driven variability in TSPO-expressing microglia in MS patients and healthy individuals

BackgroundMales with multiple sclerosis (MS) have a higher risk for disability progression than females, but the reasons for this are unclear.ObjectiveWe hypothesized that potential differences in TSPO-expressing microglia between female and male MS patients could contribute to sex differences in cl...
