How does biological sex shape the brain's vulnerability to diseases like multiple sclerosis and neurodegeneration?
The brain is not one-size-fits-all.
Dr. Rhonda Voskuhl at David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA has spent decades studying how biological sex shapes the brain's vulnerability to diseases like multiple sclerosis and neurodegeneration. Her work reveals that the same disease can progress differently in men and women and that understanding why could unlock treatments tailored to each individual.
This is the sort of fundamental research that puts personalized medicine within reach.
