Neural stem cell sex dimorphism in aromatase (CYP19) expression: a basis for differential neural fate.

CONCLUSION: Our results confirm our previous data that the neural phenotype acquired by differentiating NSCs largely depends on cell sex, and that differential expression of aromatase in undifferentiated NSCs might contribute to this sex-based dimorphism. Although still preliminary, our discovery may have clinical application in the development of future brain repair strategies. PMID: 24198523 [PubMed]
