They seem to ave made the usual mistake of thinking that people are conscious, rather than cells.
But they might discover something important about how cells report their consciousness.
A quite interesting review in Nature Immunology today -
Sex differences in immune responses to viruses, bacteria and vaccines
Abstract:
Sex differences in immune function arise from sex chromosome complement, which drives differential expression and activity of X-linked genes in immune cells, and gonadal steroids that transcriptionally regulate innate and adaptive immune cells through their respective receptors. These fundamental differences shape divergent outcomes between male and female individuals in viral and bacterial infections, post-acute infection syndromes and vaccine responses throughout the lifespan. Understanding these sex-specific immune mechanisms represents a critical frontier for developing novel therapeutic targets and advancing personalized medicine.
