Featured Article
Tissue-specific pathways and networks underlying sexual dimorphism in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Using a mouse model, multi-omics, and big data, researchers at University of California-Los Angeles examined genetic and molecular pathways and their roles in the onset of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to reveal key sex differences in disease etiology and progression. Read more about how the authors harnessed big data to tackle the question of sex differences in NAFLD in their blog.

Message from the OSSD President
Sabra Klein, President of OSSD
Sabra Klein, PhD, is the current President of the Organization for the Study of Sex Differences, Associate Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and Co-Director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Women’s Health, Sex, and Gender Research.
‘The Organization for the Study of Sex Differences (OSSD) is the only scientific research society dedicated to the study of sex as a biological variable. Through our annual meeting and publications from our members, we seek to promote knowledge that sex impacts every cell, pathway, organ, and disease state in the body. As the biomedical sciences continue to appreciate that the progression, prognosis, pathogenesis, and outcome of diverse diseases differ between the sexes, OSSD and the Biology of Sex Differences are at the forefront, serving as experts in this scientific endeavor.’
