Abstract
Although sex differences have been noted in cellular function and behavior, therapy efficacy, and disease incidence and outcomes, the adoption of sex as a biological variable in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine remains limited. Furthering the development of personalized, precision medicine requires considering biological sex at the bench and in the clinic. This review provides the basis for considering biological sex when designing tissue-engineered constructs and regenerative therapies by contextualizing sex as a biological variable within the tissue engineering triad of cells, matrices, and signals. To achieve equity in biological sex within medicine requires a cultural shift in science and engineering research, with active engagement by researchers, clinicians, companies, policymakers, and funding agencies.
期刊介绍：
Since 1999, the Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering has been capturing major advancements in the expansive realm of biomedical engineering. Encompassing biomechanics, biomaterials, computational genomics and proteomics, tissue engineering, biomonitoring, healthcare engineering, drug delivery, bioelectrical engineering, biochemical engineering, and biomedical imaging, the journal remains a vital resource. The current volume has transitioned from gated to open access through Annual Reviews' Subscribe to Open program, with all articles published under a CC BY license.
