In this episode of The Autoimmune RESET, VJ delves into the fascinating world of autoimmune diseases and the gender disparity that exists, with women being more prone to these conditions. VJ explores the latest research findings that shed light on the underlying mechanisms driving this phenomenon.
VJ discussion begins by unravelling the complexities of X-chromosome inactivation, a crucial process that helps regulate gene expression and plays a role in autoimmune susceptibility. VJ examines the role of Xist, a molecule involved in X-chromosome inactivation, and how its interactions with proteins and DNA may contribute to autoimmune disorders.
Furthermore, VJ explores the impact of hormonal factors, immunological differences, and societal influences on women's immune health and autoimmune risk.
Throughout the episode, VJ emphasises the importance of staying informed and staying abreast of the latest research in autoimmune health. By understanding the complex interplay of genetic, hormonal, environmental, and social factors, you can work towards better addressing your individual needs when it comes to autoimmune conditions, regardless of gender.
