PhD Project - Sex-Specific Phage Therapy for Conflict Wound Healing at University of Southampton, listed on FindAPhD.com

Researchers in Belgium and the UK have found that wounds heal faster in female mice than in males, with sex hormones influencing how their skin regenerates. The skin’s outer layer is constantly…

Background Obesity continues to be a public health issue in our country. Additionally, there continues to be a higher incidence of severe obesity for women compared to men. Among the proposed causes of obesity is increased hedonic feeding: food intake driven by pleasure and palatability rather than physiological hunger. While hedonic feeding is not the sole culprit for the obesity epidemic, it is a major contributing factor. Emerging evidence shows that the gut microbiome impacts feeding behavior and studies have shown that individuals with obesity exhibit an altered gut microbiome. Methods...

Background Social behaviour is essential for the survival of most mammalian species and is shaped by sex-dependent genetic and endocrine factors. However, how sex influences brain-wide neural dynamics during social interactions remains poorly understood. Methods Here, we investigated sex differences in neural activity across a distributed amygdalo-striatal network in freely behaving mice. Using chronically implanted electrode arrays, we simultaneously recorded extracellular activity from multiple amygdalo-striatal regions while mice performed four social discrimination tasks. Neural signals...

A review of behavioural studies using home-cage monitoring (HCM) systems revealed that over 61% of studies used only male subjects, with only 24% including both sexes, despite evidence of substantial...

Despite widespread sex differences in prevalence and presentation of numerous illnesses affecting the human brain, there has been little focus on the effect of endocrine ageing. Most preclinical studi...
