Reports from around the world are finding that men are more likely to suffer severe illness and die from COVID-19 than women, and it is unclear why.
Women's Health Research at Yale has launched a new study in which Dr. Akiko Iwasaki and Dr. Aaron Ring are investigating how different immune responses of women and men could account for the observed health outcomes.
