Sex- and Gender-Related Issues in the Era of Personalized Medicine, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce that, due to the success of the first edition of the Special Issue “Sex- and Gender-Related Issues in the Era of Personalized Medicine”, we have launched a second edition for 2025 to collect high-quality submissions in the “Personalized Preventive Medicine” Section of the Journal of Personalized Medicine. We are confident that this Special Issue will achieve at least the same level of interest from authors in the field (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jpm/special_issues/97BN553YO9).

Gender medicine studies sex- and gender-based differences in the development and prevention of diseases, the awareness and presentation of symptoms, and the effectiveness of therapy. Gender medicine is a part of personalized medicine, considering differences in biological and psychosocial factors individually. Across genders, there are differences in genes, chromosomes, hormones, and metabolism, as well as differences in culture, environment, and society. There are prominent differences between men and women in medicine regarding the immune system, inflammation, and noncommunicable diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease.

In this second edition, we will continue to offer investigators and clinical practitioners operating in multiple fields of medicine and nursing care the opportunity to report and share their personal experience and research data on gender medicine and gender factors/differences in women and men. We welcome both original studies and review papers.
