Abstract
In recognition of The International Day of Action for Women's Health on May 28th, we bring together a collection of Voices highlighting the need for innovative solutions to tackle long-standing women's health challenges from a bioengineering perspective. Many common diseases manifest differently in women, and an insufficient understanding of the underlying mechanisms as well as a lack of tailored treatment strategies continue to impact health outcomes. Bioengineered organoids, organ-on-chip systems, and biomaterials hold promise as tools to dissect pathological mechanisms in reproductive health, cancer, autoimmune diseases, and musculoskeletal health, while tailored diagnostic and therapeutic strategies can enhance the efficacy of clinical interventions. An interdisciplinary approach uniting technological, translational, and clinical research is essential to realize the full potential of bioengineering solutions to improve women's health.
期刊介绍：
Med is a flagship medical journal published monthly by Cell Press, the global publisher of trusted and authoritative science journals including Cell, Cancer Cell, and Cell Reports Medicine. Our mission is to advance clinical research and practice by providing a communication forum for the publication of clinical trial results, innovative observations from longitudinal cohorts, and pioneering discoveries about disease mechanisms. The journal also encourages thought-leadership discussions among biomedical researchers, physicians, and other health scientists and stakeholders. Our goal is to improve health worldwide sustainably and ethically.
Med publishes rigorously vetted original research and cutting-edge review and perspective articles on critical health issues globally and regionally. Our research section covers clinical case reports, first-in-human studies, large-scale clinical trials, population-based studies, as well as translational research work with the potential to change the course of medical research and improve clinical practice.
