Sex-Biased Gene Expression in Neural hESCs
2026-09-16
Pottmeier and colleagues used multiple male- and female-derived human embryonic stem cell lines to identify genetic sex biases during neural differentiation without treating hormonal exposure as the primary driver. Their transcriptomic analysis highlights neurodevelopmental candidate genes, Y-linked regulators, and a stronger contribution from the male transcriptome, providing a framework for studying sex-dependent developmental trajectories.
