in research. As our understanding of science evolves, so do our policies that govern research. This commentary cites several studies that highlight the need to further consider sex differences in preclinical research and describes how NIH will enact new policies
to expand the consideration of sex differences in research studies using animal models and cells. The article generated quite a buzz in the community, and I wanted to take this opportunity to explain the roll out of our implementation plan. $B!D(B.</span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#1F497D"> <a href="http://nexus.od.nih.gov/all/2014/05/16/more-on-addressing-sex-differences-in-pre-clinical-studies/?utm_source=nexus&utm_medium=email&utm_content=nihupdate&utm_campaign=may14">Continue
