Historically, medical research has relied heavily on male participants, with findings often generalized to women and children.
If women’s health is discussed at all, it’s largely framed around reproduction.
This special issue of Science highlights the research that is seeking to close the critical gaps in women’s health. Learn more: scim.ag/4hy8ACT
ALT Women make up more than half the population, but most of what we know about women’s biology comes from extrapolation of studies in men. This has been changing in recent years, and this special issue highlights some of the progress in understanding the biological basis of sex differences in health and disease and medical issues relevant to women’s health across different stages of life.

By age 70, 40% of men have mosaic loss of Y chromosome (mLOY); about 20% exhibit Y loss in at least 10% of their blood cells.
mLOY carries a significant risk for cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's, and autoimmunity. But we don't measure it!

When you throw a ball at a wall, you can be sure it will bounce back at you.
You would be extremely surprised if the ball suddenly appeared on the other side of the wall. In quantum mechanics this type of phenomenon is called tunnelling and is exactly the type of phenomenon that has given it a reputation for being bizarre and unintuitive.
The 2025 Nobel Prize laureates in physics John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis, used a series of experiments to demonstrate that the bizarre properties of the quantum world can be made concrete in a system big enough to be held in the hand. Their superconducting electrical system could tunnel from one state to another, as if it were passing straight through a wall. They also showed that the system absorbed and emitted energy in doses of specific sizes, just as predicted by quantum mechanics.
In a few weeks we will be announcing this year's Nobel Prize in Physics - stay tuned.
