And thankfully, scientists like Dr. Page from the Whitehead Institute, who works on the Y chromosome, and Doctor Yang from UCLA, they have found evidence that tells us that those sex-determining chromosomes that are in every cell in our bodies continue to remain active for our entire lives and could be what's responsible for the differences we see in the dosing of drugs, or why there are differences between men and women in the susceptibility and severity of diseases.
Menos mal que científicos como o Dr. Page do Whitehead Institute, que traballa no cromosoma Y, e o doutor Yang da UCLA, atoparon evidencias de que eses cromosomas determinantes do sexo presentes en cada célula do noso corpo permanecen activos durante toda a nosa vida e poderían ser os responsables das diferenzas que vemos na dosificación dos medicamentos, ou en por que hai diferenzas entre homes e mulleres na susceptibilidade e gravidade das enfermidades.
