In a recent Perspective published in Nature Aging, researchers noted a lack of studies on female-specific physiological factors on aging trajectories. They proposed solutions, including model systems, to address the issue [1]. Most model organisms don't match human sex specificity The use of model organisms, such as worms, fruit flies, and mice, has helped researchers...
