While many factors underlie such differences, sex differences in T lymphocytes differentiation and function likely lead to disparate adaptive immune responses and disease control. Indeed, sex hormones, including androgens, are strong regulators of gene expression, and have been implicated as drivers of immunity and regulators of T cell differentiation. Therefore, it is clear that androgens play a role in the regulation of T cell function and differentiation, but the mechanisms of such control remain unknown, including whether such regulation is cell-intrinsic. 000009215 540__ $$fCC BY 000009215 542__ $$fIn copyright - joint owners 000009215 650__ $$aAutoimmunity$$028491 000009215 650__ $$aImmunity$$020668 000009215 650__ $$aAndrogens$$014685 000009215 650__ $$aT-Lymphocytes$$026731 000009215 6531_ $$at cell immunity 000009215 6531_ $$aandrogen receptor 000009215 6531_ $$alymphocytes 000009215 7001_ $$aHawkins, Reed$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009215 7001_ $$aSehrawat, Archana$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009215 7001_ $$aPolesso, Fanny$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009215 7001_ $$aMoran, Amy$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009215 711__ $$aResearch Week$$uOregon Health and Science University$$d2021 000009215 8564_ $$9ccc88edd-d83e-4682-a2bf-27174a654739$$s62833$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9215/files/Hawkins-Reed-OHSU-ResearchWeek-2021.pdf 000009215 905__ $$a/rest/prod/f4/75/2h/44/f4752h44n 000009215 980__ $$aResearch Week
