🔍into #sex or #gender differences in wound healings are frequently under-reported in clinical trials. Even in studies that do examine the effects of sex on wound healing, the proportion of #female participants is often disproportionately low.

In our ongoing efforts to emphasize the importance of #sex considerations in #nanomedicine (e.g., Nature Communications: nature.com/articles/s4146…), we proposed the necessity of including sex in nanomedicine wound healing therapies.

Wound healing mechanisms differ depending on the sex. Therefore, sex should be considered in the design of nanomedicine- and materials-based wound healing therapies, both in preclinical and clinical testing. New article by Morteza Mahmoudi, PhD Simon Matoori et al
