I’m so honoured to have been able to contribute to this paper. @emmaschambers.bsky.social is the monocyte queen 👑
If you have wondered how age, sex and even the menopause influences monocyte phenotype and function. Then our new preprint is for you www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Age-associated inflammatory monocytes are increased in menopausal females and reversed by Hormone Replacement Therapy
Biological sex is a crucial, but poorly understood variable in age-related susceptibility to infections and chronic inflammation, inflammageing. Monocytes are important immune cells responsible for in...
