Why does Parkinson’s Disease affect men more often? DLS Recap on Sex Differences in Astrocytes and Oligodendrocytes
The first day featured a lecture by Julia M. Schulze-Hentrich, Professor of Genetics and Epigenetics at Saarland University. Alongside our CRC1665 group, colleagues from neurogenetics also joined the presentation, adding welcome expertise to the room. The paper “Sex and Gender Differences in the Molecular Etiology of Parkinson’s Disease”, which she co-authored, had been shared with the doctoral students beforehand, and to make it accessible across disciplines we also prepared a glossary of key terms.
