Biology of Sex Differences




Biology of Sex Differences considers manuscripts on all aspects of the effects of sex on biology and disease.

Sex has profound effects on physiology and the susceptibility to disease. The function of cells and organs depends on their sex, determined by the interplay among the genome and biological and social environments. The study of sex differences is a discipline in itself, with its own concepts and methods that apply across tissues.

The Organization for the Study of Sex Differences has agreed to cover a portion of the cost of article-processing charges for any manuscripts submitted by the organization's members.

"Sex differences occur in many tissues and diseases. Biology of Sex Differences serves as a forum for discussion of the forces that make females and males different, and the downstream pathways that are affected by sex-specific forces. This information will be critical for discovery of factors, often more prevalent in one sex than the other, that alleviate disease."

"Every cell has a sex, imposed on it from its environment and its genome. The Organization for the Study of Sex Differences is a member organization of scientists focused on understanding how sex influences biological function. We are excited to launch the Society's official journal, Biology of Sex Differences. Consideration of "sex" as a critical variable which influences development, progression and treatment of disease should be equated with scientific excellence. Biology of Sex Differences is dedicated to such excellence."
