Table 1 Gender-dependent immune pathways or molecules that causes different disease susceptibility in men and women

From: The discovery of how gender influences age immunological mechanisms in health and disease, and the identification of ageing gender-specific biomarkers, could lead to specifically tailored treatment and ultimately improve therapeutic success rates
