Un factor mai puțin cunoscut ar putea influența modul în care îmbătrânim și riscul de a dezvolta boli grave, arată un studiu recent

Recent research indicates that sex chromosomes X and Y may influence aging and disease development beyond determining biological sex. Studies show these chromosomes can affect cellular functions, immune responses, and tissue aging. The X chromosome, particularly, has been linked to cognitive resilience and immune responses, while the Y chromosome's loss in aging men is associated with various health issues. The findings suggest a complex interplay between sex chromosomes and health, with implications for understanding diseases like Alzheimer's and cardiovascular conditions.
